The MelaDen is bringing together a curated mix of creatives, makers, artists, and entrepreneurs for our Makers Market.

The Makers Market is an outdoor marketplace designed to give local creators space to showcase their work, connect with customers, and build community.

We intentionally limit duplicate vendor categories so each business has room to stand out. Applications are reviewed based on event fit, availability, and maintaining a balanced vendor mix. Because this is a curated market, we may limit or decline applications when a product or service category is already represented.

Vendor Information
Vendor spaces: 30
Space: 10' × 10'
Location: Outdoors
Electricity: Unavailable, quiet generators welcome
Drink Vendors: We are looking for coffee and/or dirty sodas

Beverage Restriction: The sale of bottled/canned water and soft drinks is reserved exclusively for the host tent. Approved vendors may not sell water, soda, or standard soft drinks.

We welcome artists, makers, crafters, jewelry designers, visual artists, photographers, creative businesses, specialty product makers, and other creative entrepreneurs.

Weather Policy
Because this is an outdoor event, the market may be cancelled or modified due to unsafe weather conditions. Weather-related decisions will be made with the safety of vendors, attendees, and event staff in mind. Approved vendors will be notified as soon as a weather-related decision is made.

Terms & Conditions

A NOTE ABOUT OUR MARKETS The MelaDen is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization. No one at The MelaDen is paid to host or coordinate these events. Vendor fees are used strictly to cover the costs of producing the event, including required permits, venue or site expenses, staffing, equipment, marketing, and other event-related costs. We do not charge vendor fees as a source of personal income. Our marketing budget depends on the funds available for each event. When vendor participation is low, there may be little or no funding available for paid advertising, which means our ability to reach shoppers beyond our existing Instagram and Facebook audiences is limited. As a nonprofit, The MelaDen is also subject to financial transparency requirements. Financial information and reports may be requested in accordance with applicable nonprofit requirements. We appreciate every vendor who helps make these community events possible. Your participation helps us continue creating spaces where local businesses, creatives, and community members can connect and grow.
