To respect the work that goes into this process, we do not accept applications outside our annual application period. Stay up-to-date on applications and other market news by signing up for our weekly e-newsletter.

Insurance

Q: MCFM is the only market or similar event I am applying to for the year. Buying an insurance policy would solely be for MCFM, and if I was not selected I would just have to cancel the policy. Can I delay providing proof of insurance until the vendor selections are made?

A: Yes, you may delay providing proof of insurance until you are admitted into the market.

Tabling

Q: I would like to table at MCFM for one Saturday representing a non-profit community group/small business. Where can I find more information?

A: MCFM typically has space for 1-2 “Community Booths” at each market to promote the work of other non-profits and community organizations. Click here to learn more about Community Booths. Businesses may also be interested in supporting the market further by becoming a sponsor of the market.

Winter MarketS

We are not currently accepting new vendors for our winter markets. These markets have capacity for about half the vendors as our outdoor market. For this reason, we open the applications to our current/returning vendors first. If we are still in need of vendors, we will contact new vendors who meet our Sustainability Statement and have filled out our Pre-Application.
