We invite kids ages 5 to 17 to become a vendor, selling homemade or handmade crafts, food, and other goods and services. The products must be made by the kids themselves. Food items should be prepared under supervision with attention to good hygiene practices. We encourage vendors to reflect on whether they are learning new skills or adding value to their products. Please note that resold items, such as candy, chips, soda, and similar products, are not allowed. However, accompaniments that complement a homemade dish—such as syrup with homemade pancakes or chips with homemade salsa—are acceptable.
Our summer markets occur every Saturday from June through July at two locations. Vendors are responsible for cleaning their spots at the end of each market, and food vendors must bring a garbage can.
Food vendors must adhere to food safety regulations, including cooking food to the correct temperatures, maintaining clean work areas, and handling food with gloves or sanitized hands. Vendors should also take care to prevent cross-contamination between food and money. Kids manage and sell their products at their booths, engaging with customers, answering questions, and handling all transactions.
In addition to the summer markets, we host three pop-up markets each year: Christmas, Fall, and Spring. These events require prior registration due to limited space, and spots fill quickly. We send a sign-up form via email about one month before each event. Please note that there is no fee for vendor spots at these pop-up markets.

We are excited to offer these opportunities for young entrepreneurs to showcase their talents and hard work.
