This vendor application is for the Holiday Ritual Market event taking place Sunday, November 22nd from 10am-3pm. Applications are open from Wednesday, July 15th at 6pm to Wednesday, July 22nd at midnight. Vendors will be set inside the Augusta Armory.

While applications are open for a week, we do predict a large number of applications and encourage those interested to apply early on. Applications will be responded to sporadically throughout this week and next. 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 a 10x10ft booth for the day is $125. Payment and contract is due within 48 hours of acceptance UNLESS you need a payment option, which still needs to be communicated to me within 48 hours. If you ghost the acceptance I will move on to another vendor.

Payment options for this market:

Option 1: Delayed Payment. You have two weeks from the date of your acceptance to make payment in full.

Option 2: Split Payment. Half of the booth fee ($62.50) is due within 48 hours and the other half is due within three weeks of your acceptance email.

Option 3: Afterpay. We have introduced afterpay as an option to pay for your booth, but due to the large fee taken by afterpay there is a $6 fee to use afterpay as an option.

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

A 10x10ft canopy is required to participate in the market. We understand this is not typical of an indoor event, but it keeps each vendor space clearly marked and creates a more aesthetic shopping experience. No weights required.

Access to electricity can be provided but only limited spots are available. Please let me know asap if you need it.

RAIN/WEATHER DATES

This market DOES NOT have a rain date. This market is rain or shine - however in the event of a severe weather event (a noreaster) and the market needs to be cancelled, vendors will be allowed a 50% future market credit. Booth fees are used to pay fees, insurance, utilities and other expenses ahead of time so there are NO refunds, and by applying you are aware of this.

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. While a refund isn't guaranteed we usually do have a waitlist. 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. Meaning, you would be refunded $15 less than what you paid for the booth.
