This vendor application is for the Beat the Blues Winter Market taking place Sunday, January 25th from 10am-3pm at the Augusta Armory.

Vendor applications are open from Wednesday, October 15th at noon through Tuesday October 21st at midnight. Please read this page in it's entirety before applying even if you've vended before as some policies have changed. While applications are not first come first serve and will be open for the full duration, applying early is beneficial to me as it allows me to begin responding to applications a few days in.

We take time to carefully review each application we receive and are truly grateful for each and every inquiry. Our markets would not be what they are without our vendors. We will respond to every single applicant regardless of our decision. We recognize the way we run this market is different than other markets - and if you feel that it’s not a good fit for you, that’s okay! But please refrain from sending any negative responses to denial emails - that will result in a permanent ban from the markets. It cost nothing to be kind.

Vendor Applications are reviewed and chosen based on many factors, including but not limited to: 

Past vending experience with ritual market and other events. Uniqueness of products offered - we do our best to avoid too many vendors within the same niche. How well you business' booth fits with the market's theme + vibe. You have an established business with a website, social media handles, or selling platform.

Cost + Payment

The cost of an 10ftx10ft booth is $125. If you are unable to pay the fee up front you must let me know within 48 hours from receiving the acceptance email that you need to utilize one of our payment options:

option 1) delayed payment: you will have two weeks from the date of your acceptance email to pay the $125 booth fee in full.

option 2) split payments: you can split the $125 booth fee into two payments. half is due within 48 hours of receiving an acceptance email and the other half is due within 3 weeks of receiving your acceptance email.

Split or shared booths are allowed if you list both businesses info on the application and indicate you'd like a shared booth. Payment and cost is still the same, but it is up to you to decide who pays what as long as $125 is sent by the time it is due!

Policies

CANOPIES ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT.

INCLEMENT WEATHER DATES

There is no rain/snow date for this market. Please understand the market will go on even if it snows. By applying for this market you understand this policy.

DROPPING OUT OF THE MARKET

Refunds are awarded if you pull from the market at least two weeks prior to the market date and only if your booth can be filled. We typically have a waitlist, so while a refund isn't guaranteed we usually do not have any issues filling spots. HOWEVER, beginning in 2025 we are implementing a drop out fee of $15. This is to cover any fees associated with receiving and transferring the original booth fee and a small fee for the time to fill your booth. So you would be refunded $15 less than what you paid. This fee is only for those who drop out and not those who can't make the rain date.
