(Official Event announcement coming soon!)

We want 24 great vendors and we’re looking for the right ones.
Think:
Old gas & oil signs.
Crates of vinyl records.
Worn-in leather.
Handmade goods with a story.
Booths that look as good as what you’re selling.

If your setup feels like it belongs in a roadside antique shop or a backroad market somewhere off Route 1, you’re our kind of vendor.
