The market will include local growers and vendors who sell natural products, including vegetables, fruit, eggs, meat, cheeses, flowers, herbs, baked goods, wine and healthy snacks, as well as artisans and vendors with unique offerings and performers. Vendors and performers located within a 150-mile radius of the Rockford Region are encouraged to apply.
Anyone wishing to become a vendor or performer must submit a completed application to the Market Manager. Each application must go through an approval process in order to ensure a wide variety of goods and performance types at the market. Applications can be found on the market website at http://www.rockfordcitymarket.com/ or by contacting the Market Manager at 815.964.4388 or info@rockfordcitymarket.com.
For vendors, all booths are 10’ X 10’ spaces and are rented at the seasonal rate of $500 per booth or $250 for a half season (10 weeks). For the inaugural 2010 Market season, the first booth space is free. Vendors will be charged for each additional space. Space assignments are issued by the Market Manager upon application approval. The market requires a $100 seasonal deposit or $50 half season deposit from every vendor to ensure consistent attendance. Deposits will be returned in full on the last day of the market provided the vendor attends 90% of the markets.
Performers will be determined by the Market Manager and may vary each week. Entertainment must be appropriate for a family-oriented open-air market. Performers may set up a display area for tips, informational brochures and sale of their own recorded music.
