Our goal is to provide a regular venue for both emerging and established makers to sell their work. We aim to provide our visitors with a diverse range of fresh produce, baked goods and unique work handmade local creatives, designers, artisans and the like.
Our shoppers are looking for unique designs that cannot be found elsewhere. Therefore, we try to ensure there is a variety of items on display at all times. While you are always welcome to apply for any event, to ensure the best experience for our customers as well as our vendors it is necessary to limit the number of like products/vendors (i.e. jewelry, candles and certain types of takeaway foods). As such, we carefully review all vendor applications, and make our selections are based on specific criteria. Therefore, please understand that acceptance and non-acceptance of applications is at the sole discretion of KDA Markets and will be based on the information given by the applicant on their application, meeting the approved product criteria, quality, product distribution, diversity (market mix) and availability.
Please be sure to read the VENDOR GUIDELINES & AGREEMENT at the end of the application. You only need to apply one time, which adds you to the vendor mailing list. Our monthly email will inform you of upcoming markets and other market opportunities.
