We also welcome established food service vendors, who can cook on site and delight our visitors with international and tradition foods, and non-profit and community organizations who have stories and services to share.

Entertainers

We encourage musicians and street performs to apply for a space at our market to perform. Space is limited and there is no fee for approved performers, nor does the Marketplace pay for performances, but it is a great place for promotion of your band, music or entertainment, you may sell CD’s and offer a tip jar. Entertainers who charge for their services will be charged a booth fee. (This section does not apply to bands hired to perform on the Main Stage)

All Entertainers must be approved by the Market. Entertainment will be placed in the area most suitable for their art. Amplified music is only permitted in approved areas.
