frequently asked questions
what is the ritual market?
ritual market is a high vibe, eclectic market hosted in the kennebec valley that features a rotating variety of vendors and their offerings. we host multiple events a year to offer a supportive, welcoming environment to connect and allow vendors to share their products with the public.
how do i become a vendor?
vendors are accepted by application only.
applications open for each market 3-4 months prior to the event date for a small period of time and then are closed for review and vendor selection. due to the high volume of applicants, we like to focus on accepting applications one market at a time. if you'd like to be notified via email every time a market is announced or applications open, please join our email list below!
how do you select vendors?
every single vendor application is carefully reviewed and responded to via email. we truly appreciate the time, energy, and enthusiasm put behind applying to our events. unfortunately, we are unable to accept everyone who applies. we typically do have a limited number of booth spots available - and we also want to ensure we can provide the foot traffic and customer base to support the vendors we do accept. our vendors do rely on these events as a source of income and my vendor's success is a priority. lastly, we do try to limit the amount of vendors within each artistic category for similar reasons. we do our best to accept new vendors each market, but we also do value loyalty and past participation in our markets! if you do receive a denial to one or even more of our events, our line up is always changing from event to event - so i always encourage vendors to reapply to future markets.
how often do you have markets?
we have three outdoor markets a year (spring, summer and fall) and one indoor market in the holiday season. listed above are the planned markets for 2024.
how can i stay updated on new markets, applications opening, etc?
