Vendor Information
Thank you for being a part of Marketfest!
We are so excited to celebrate our 36th year of Marketfest. We anticipate 3,000-5,000 visitors per night and have over 200 vendors and businesses participating.
–> MARK YOUR CALENDARS! There will be a Vendor Meeting on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 5:30 pm at EAT at 5th and Banning (enter through the atrium doors) to cover important details about being a vendor at Marketfest. Join us to learn more about set-up, tear down, parking and more!
Here are a few important reminders to help us have a successful event.
-
Marketfest’s hours of operation are 6:00-9:00 p.m. Please remain open for the entire evening as a courtesy to our guests.
-
Set up begins at 3:45, 4:45 p.m., or 5:30 p.m., depending on your booth location. Marketfest staff and the WBL Police Department will be on-site to help direct traffic. Please don’t arrive before your set-up time, as road closures are staggered.
-
Be patient during load-in and tear-down. Sometimes, there will be lines as we move vendors into place.
-
Vendors are responsible for providing their own tent, table, chairs, etc. Tents are recommended but not required.
-
You are welcome to start selling at 5:30 p.m. if you are set up and ready to go. However, for crowd safety reasons, please do not begin selling before then.
-
Marketfest closes at 9:00 p.m., and cars will be allowed to come on-site for tear down as soon as it is safe to do so (typically around 9:15 p.m. after most guests have left.)
-
At the end of the night, please clean up your area and take your garbage with you for disposal off-site! DO NOT use the private dumpsters owned by the downtown businesses. PLACING TRASH IN BINS ON SITE WILL RESULT IN A FINE. THANK YOU!
