We're excited to be back at the Downtown Ames Fareway parking lot for two premier pop-up markets this season!
Mark your calendars for:
Sunday, June 1st & Sunday, October 5th from 11am-4pm
Downtown Ames Fareway parking lot (619 Burnett Avenue)
We are looking for makers from all over this beautiful land to showcase their handmade and vintage goods. We carefully curate each market and look for top notch products that offer variety for our shoppers.
Check out our Vendor FAQ page for more information about applying and market policies.
WE ENCOURAGE ALL TO APPLY - emerging and experienced makers and crafters, BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ makers, those who have never done a market before, vintage vendors, and small creative businesses!
Vendor selections are thoughtfully curated to ensure a diverse array of products and balance between well-established and emerging makers. The aim is to avoid saturating any particular category while offering a compelling range of goods.
The selection process prioritizes originality, product variety,
and the presentation of booth displays.
We do not accept MLM or direct sales vendors and ask that you do not apply at this time.
Photos of your products and booth display are required for your application to be considered.
APPLICATIONS WITHOUT PHOTOS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
Please send 3-6 photos of your work and at least 2 booth display photos to beautifullandmarket@gmail.com
to complete your application.
For our June 1st pop-up, the application deadline is April 14th.
For our October 5th pop-up, the application deadline is July 30th. Applicants will be notified within 10 days of applying.
Applications will remain open until each category is full for each market date. If applying after the application deadline, applicants will be notified within 5 days of applying.
