Vending At MWGB

Register as a Vendor

Please read this entire page before reaching out.

Vending space is prioritized as follows:

Space Details: Each vending segment is ~8x10 feet, including a front and back table, and two chairs. Additional tables are available for a fee.
Participation: Vendors occurs at times listed as "flea market open" in the schedule. Vendor fees may be direct costs or in-kind donations of services, goods, or auction items. These are negotiated with the vendor manager at the time you make your vending request.
Space Requests: You may request a specific location, but we reserve the right to adjust for optimal participation.
Payment: Your space is confirmed only after payment is received.
Power: Power is available, but bring a 100-foot extension cord and a power strip to share.
Setup and Tear Down: You may only occupy your space during designated "flea market" hours. Setup and teardown are allowed one hour before and after these hours.
Responsibility: Ensure your setup doesn’t encroach on other spaces. Items should be appropriate for the event. Consult us if you’re unsure.
Security: Spangler Arena is locked at 9 pm daily, but it’s not considered secure. Protect your belongings accordingly. MWGB is not responsible for loss of theft.

Vendors are set up along the wall by the large doors. You may park one vehicle on the grass if it doesn’t block traffic.
The floor is part concrete, part dirt. Cover your items to prevent dust buildup when inactive.
The arena isn’t air-conditioned. Bring fans for hot days, and secure your area against wind.
Restrooms are available.
Food vendors are nearby, but food service isn’t included in vendor fees.
Respect the reserved area for the event stage center of the vending area.
Wifi is available on the grounds from a third party for a fee, but is often unreliable: consider using your data plan if you need data for POS, payment systems, etc. Verizon seems to work best at the fairgrounds. Power is along the wall; bring an extension cord if needed.
