- Handmade + creative businesses
- Inclusivity + safe spaces
- Curated vendor mix
- Supporting local artists
- Accessible markets for all backgrounds
We’re here for the makers, the weirdos, the creatives, and the small-business hustlers. We curate with purpose so every market feels fresh, balanced, and aligned with our vibe.
What we look for:
- Handmade + original work (no mass-produced dropshipping)
- A clear point of view - your brand should feel like you
- Good booth presentation
- Vendors who show up for the community
- A healthy variety of categories so everyone has room to shine
If your work has personality, you’ll fit right in.
Vendor approval varies by category saturation and market capacity.
Booth Details
Indoor setups vary by venue, but you’ll always know your footprint ahead of time. Outdoor events follow the usual 10x10 setup. Power is extremely limited, so bring battery lights if you need ambiance.
Crowd Vibes
You’ll see regulars, brewery people, weekend wanderers, and plenty of alternative, artsy shoppers. Our markets pull a steady, engaged crowd that actually browses and buys - not just walks through for vibes.
Venue Rules
Every market space is a little different. Some have tight parking, some have stairs, some have load-in quirks. We’ll tell you ALL of it so you’re not surprised when you show up.
How We Communicate
We don’t ghost vendors. You’ll get:
- Approval email
- Load-in instructions
- Layout map
- Any last-minute updates (weather, parking, etc.)
- We keep the chaos to a minimum.
Fees & Payment
Fees vary slightly by event and venue. We keep them reasonable and transparent. Payment is required before the event to secure your spot.
Setup
Load-in is straightforward - come during the assigned window, follow the map, and you’re good. We don’t make it weird or stressful.
We keep things transparent so you know what to expect when vending with us. These numbers reflect our recurring markets at Savage Craft Brewery and will be updated as the season continues.
Here’s the general vibe:
- Vendors: 25 curated small businesses
- Shoppers: 100–300 depending on weather + season
- Peak Rush: Early afternoon (12:30–2:30)
- Vendor Repeat Rate: A whole lot - our people tend to come back
- Categories: Handmade-heavy with art, jewelry, apparel, oddities, home goods, and alt-friendly creators
- Promotion: Strong social push leading up to each event
These aren’t exaggerated or fluff numbers - just what we consistently see month after month.

See This Vendor On Instagram"As a newbie to the art market scene, H&S was an amazing introduction to what markets should be. The atmosphere is always welcoming, kind, and supportive, and I have made so many new friends amongst the wildly talented collection of vendors there. The crowds never fail to put a smile on my face. Always one of my favorite markets to attend!"
