Vendors

This application is for artists, makers, vendors, healers, and all other spiritual practitioners interested in participating in our 2026 markets.

You will receive an email notification if your application is approved, rejected, or waitlisted. Accepted vendors must follow the booth selection/payment instructions included in your approval email to secure your space. An approval email does not mean your spaces are secured!* Accepted vendors will receive event details and load-in instructions two (2) days before each market. We review all applications to ensure a balanced, high-quality market experience.

*This does not apply to vendors who select a 6' space under our market-provided 10' x 20' canopy. If 6' spaces are still available for your desired date(s), we'll invoice you the $75 table fee. Your space(s) will be assigned to you by the market coordinator once your payment is received.

By applying to the Northwest Metaphysical Market (NWMM), you agree to the following terms & conditions (please read):

 
Booth participants under 18 must always be accompanied by an adult (18 or older).
We review applications for fit, balance, and overall market curation. Acceptance is not guaranteed.
