Application and Approval Process
Application fees are non-refundable. Please only purchase if you qualify to be a vendor (read our FAQ prior to purchasing to ensure you are an eligible vendor). The application fee is to review your application and does not guarantee approval. It is non-refundable and non-transferable (no exceptions).
Once you submit payment, please check your email. You will receive an email confirmation with a link to your application form. All required fields must be filled out to be considered. You can also access the application form through your confirmation email, tied to your confirmation number. Please complete and submit the application form asap. We cannot review the application unless the form is submitted. Please do not share the link with others.
Applications will remain open until all spaces sell out. Approval letters will be sent out NO LATER THAN AUGUST 16. The earlier you submit your application, the more likely it is you will be accepted as we do prioritize early submissions. If you have been selected to be a vendor, an approval email containing the agreement and a payment link for your space will be sent to you.
Please download, sign and email back the vendor agreement. Please submit payment for your space. Spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so your space will not be saved until payment is received.
Please note: Permanent Jewelry is near capacity with only 1 space available.
Spaces
All spaces are approximately 10x10, leaving space for the option of either a canopy or umbrella/table set up. You must indicate which set up you will be bringing for the season in the application process, which you will be redirected to upon sending in your application fee.
Payment
Weekly vendor booth spaces will be $60 (handmade, original, one-of-a-kind products and local artists)
Weekly Experiential vendor booth spaces will be $88 (tattoo artists, coffee carts, hat or flower bars, permanent jewelry).
There is a 20% discount when you pay for the entire season for either the standard booth space or experiential.
Prices will vary based on seasonal foot traffic. The above fees are the max seasonal pricing.
Promotion of our Event
We actively promote our events through collaborations with local businesses, vendors, media outlets and this year we will be inviting top Arizona influencers to participate in select markets. If selected as a vendor, we will rely on you and your social networks to make weekly posts leading up to the event. Your support in promoting the event is essential and plays a crucial role in its success. Thank you for your understanding!
What You Can Expect at the Market
Sidewalk Saturday will remain a casual environment that centers collaboration and a celebration of local creativity. All of our events are family & pet friendly. Each market will have a local business + nonprofit partner with coffee, food and drink discounts available at neighborhood brick & mortars. The objective of this market is to encourage folks to explore the beautiful and ever-unfolding Arts District in Downtown Phoenix. Our intent is to support the discovery of local artists, your go-to coffee shop, and favorite retail spaces.
