Eligibility / Application Requirements

To be accepted as a vendor in the following categories, you must meet the following requirements: 

Handmade Craft / Artist Vendors

All items in this category must be made in the USA and be original works by the vendor filling out the application.  No manufactured items accepted.  Food vendors that produce their own products are included in this category. Food vendors that fall under the Florida Cottage Law are permitted in this category. 

Direct Sales / Buy-Sell / Boutique Vendors (Limited Amount of Vendors Accepted)

Vendors in this category may sell manufactured crafts or resell gifts (non-handmade items). For example, imported crafts from another country or gift items that are not handmade.  For direct sales (Scentsy, Tupperware), we will only allow one vendor per company and this category is limited to a small percentage of the overall vendors. 

Sponsors (Limited)

There will be a very limited amount of event sponsors accepted. This category would be suitable for commercial vendors.

For All Vendors

All applications will be reviewed before being accepted into the show.  Please make sure you submit pictures that show your booth set-up and pictures of your best items. All applications require a minimum of a 50% deposit.  The remaining balance will be due October 12, 2026. 

*We limit the amount of each vendor category (i.e. soaps, candles, tumblers) and make every effort to keep similar vendors away from each other.  This may result in you not getting your preferred booth space.
