-Upcycled, custom, or small-batch creations
-The more unique and vibe-aligned your work is, the better.

Prices
| Juneteenth Vendor Space | $80.00 | Non-refundable | |
| Barrel Room Space | $60.00 | Non-refundable | |
| Swap Meet | $30.00 | Non-refundable | This is a limited space from 10am-2pm only for swap meets! "As part of the Turn The Page Juneteenth Celebration, Cult Your Nights is opening the floor for a daytime marketplace honoring the rich BIPOC history of the swap meet: a place where culture, survival, artistry, and entrepreneurship meet. From Black mixtape culture and Chicano lowrider markets to immigrant family-run booths and underground fashion economies, swap meets have long been sacred spaces of resilience, creativity, and community exchange. The People’s Swap is our love letter to that legacy — reimagined inside Durty Bull Brewing Company as a vibrant gathering of artists, makers, vintage curators, designers, herbalists, collectors, and cultural retailers. We are currently welcoming vendor submissions for the 9 AM–2 PM marketplace experience. We are especially excited about independent creators, small businesses, handmade goods, cultural wares, wearable art, records, books, textiles, oddities, apothecary goods, upcycled fashion, and inventive community-rooted retail experiences. This is intentionally not an MLM space. We want the energy of the neighborhood market: alive, soulful, experimental, and deeply human. Because this is a shorter daytime vending period, booth fees are being offered at an accessible $30 vendor rate. The People’s Swap is designed to feel like the cultural heartbeat of the celebration — a place to gather, discover, trade stories, and cultivate days and nights worth remembering" |
