About the application

Welcome to the 2027 Mardi Gras at the Square Arts, Crafts & Merchandise Vendor Application!

Mardi Gras at the Square is coming to Cambridge Square in Ooltewah, Tennessee, on Saturday, February 6, 2027. This vibrant community celebration will bring together incredible food, live entertainment, local businesses, family activities, and the unmistakable color and energy of Mardi Gras.

We invite makers, artisans, boutiques, specialty retailers, creators, and merchandise vendors to apply to be part of this carefully curated Mardi Gras marketplace.

A CURATED MARDI GRAS MARKET

Our goal is to create a diverse, high quality shopping experience while giving participating businesses the strongest opportunity for success. Applications are reviewed based on event fit, product quality, category balance, product duplication, booth presentation, and available space.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Approved vendors will receive an official acceptance notification along with additional event information.

MARKET BOOTH REQUIREMENTS

The visual experience of Mardi Gras at the Square is an important part of the event. We want guests to feel immersed in the celebration from the moment they arrive, and every participating vendor helps create that atmosphere.

Every vendor must decorate their booth in a Mardi Gras theme. Vendors are encouraged to incorporate purple, green, and gold, along with tasteful elements such as beads, masks, fleur de lis, feathers, banners, lights, or New Orleans inspired details that complement their business and merchandise.

Booth presentation is a condition of participation. Vendors must arrive prepared to create a complete Mardi Gras themed display. Hearthara Culinary reserves the right to require adjustments to displays that do not meet event presentation standards.

HELP US GET TO KNOW YOUR BUSINESS

Please complete your application carefully and provide accurate information about your business and the products you intend to sell. Clear product and booth photos help our team evaluate applications, thoughtfully curate the marketplace, avoid excessive product duplication, and identify opportunities to feature participating businesses in event marketing and promotional content.
