VENDOR INFO
PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING FOR ANY OF OUR MARKETS
- Each of our Market Requires:
- A Vendor Fee. The fee varies based on the event. The vendor fee will be listed on each event’s Vendor Application accessed below and will be due two weeks prior to the event. Vendor spots are not secured until vendor fees are paid. Vendor fees are non refundable.
- A Certificate of Insurance (COI). Vendors are required to have business liability insurance OR Event Insurance for the day of the event (such as Thimble Event Insurance). The COI must have the venue added as additionally insured and be submitted two weeks prior to the event. Vendor spots are not secured until COIs are submitted.
- All FOOD vendors must make sure their business is permitted and correctly established with the state and/or county health departments in order to sell food, packaged or hot. If you are unsure, please contact Frederick County Health Department at 301-600-2542. All of our events are subject to inspection by the health dept., and all vendors are responsible for ensuring they will pass inspection if one takes place. Vendors not in compliance will not receive refunds on vendor fees. And if vendors willingly, knowingly, or deliberately break rules, laws, or guidelines set forth by local and state codes, they will be banned from our markets and will not be refunded vendor fees.
