Questions about how it works?

VendorsMap is the map of where vendors can sell. It lists 22,500+ farmers markets, craft fairs, festivals, and pop-ups across the US and Canada, plus 800+ stores that carry handmade goods. Vendors use it to find and apply to markets. Organizers use it to run their market: applications, booth maps, payments, and messaging in one place. Shoppers use it to find markets worth visiting.

Yes. VendorsMap is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Your account works the same on the app and the website. Links are at vendorsmap.com/apps.

All 50 US states, Washington DC, and every Canadian province and territory. Coverage is deepest in the Northeast, California, Texas, and Florida, and new markets are added every week. Browse by area at vendorsmap.com/states and vendorsmap.com/canada.

Tap the Questions? button in the bottom corner of any page and leave a message with your email. It goes straight to the team and we reply by email.

VendorsMap is operated by VendorsMap LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company. It started as a New England farmers market and craft fair directory and grew across the US and Canada because vendors kept asking for their area.

Open the map at vendorsmap.com/map and enter your town or zip code, or allow location access. Filter by event type, date, booth fee, and whether food trucks are welcome. Open any event to see its booth fee, dates, deadline, requirements, and how to apply.

Yes. Browsing the map, saving markets, messaging organizers, and applying to events are all free. Membership is optional and gets you in front of organizers first (see Membership below).

Open the event and tap Apply. Many events take applications right on VendorsMap: you fill in your profile once and reuse it for every application, and you can track every status from your dashboard. Events that use their own application system show a link to the organizer's form instead.

Some events ask for things like a certificate of insurance, a business license, or a health permit. Each event lists what it needs. You upload a document once to your dashboard and reuse it for every event that asks, and each organizer approves their own copy. You can apply first and upload afterwards.

When an organizer accepts you, you pay the booth fee by card on VendorsMap and it is tracked in your dashboard. Some events save your card when you apply and charge it only if you are accepted, never above the amount you agreed to. Paying booth fees on VendorsMap is free for vendors.

Booth fees paid on VendorsMap are refunded by the organizer through the platform, and organizers agree to refund vendors when they cancel. If you paid on VendorsMap and did not get the booth you paid for, tap Questions? with the event name and we will follow it up with the organizer. If the event turns out to be a scam, Members are covered by Scam Protection. Fees paid outside VendorsMap (cash, Venmo, another site) have to be settled with the organizer directly.

Create a free account and set your home location and what you sell. We email you when a new market that fits is approved. Members get that email the moment it goes live; free accounts get it about a day later. You can turn alerts off any time at vendorsmap.com/dashboard#alerts.

Yes. Vendors rate events as a place to sell, and shoppers rate them as a place to visit. The two scores are shown separately on each event, so a busy market with poor sales is easy to spot.

Yes. Filter the map to events that welcome food trucks, see the food vendor types each event wants, and browse the food truck guide at vendorsmap.com/food-trucks.

Yes. The store directory lists 800+ consignment shops, maker co-ops, and booth-rental stores that carry handmade goods. Each store page explains how it works and how to pitch it.

$45 a year (about $3.75 a month) or $15 a month. Paying yearly saves $135. For self-employed vendors it is usually a deductible business expense.

Members get into more markets. Your applications sit at the top of the organizer's queue, you hear about new markets first, and you can apply before an event opens to the public. You also get Quick Connect (AI-drafted answers for application forms), auto-apply to good fits, a verified badge, $500 Scam Protection, and you get paid to go to markets.

Add markets we are missing and share photos from the ones you go to. The team reviews each one, and every month the top contributors split a cash pool based on what they added. Only contributions made while you are a Member count.

If a Member pays for an event found on VendorsMap and it turns out to be a scam, we reimburse up to $500 per claim and $1,000 per year, however you paid the organizer. File within 90 days at vendorsmap.com/scam-protection. It does not cover bad weather, slow sales, booth placement disputes, or events found somewhere else.

No. Applying is free for everyone. Membership puts your application in front of organizers first and gets you there earlier.

From your dashboard Settings, tap Manage Membership and cancel. You keep everything until the end of the period you paid for and are not charged again. If you joined through the iPhone or Android app, cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions instead.

Yes. The map, event pages, and vendor profiles are free. Save markets and follow the makers you like with a free account.

Insider is the shopper membership, $23/yr (about $1.92/mo) or $10/mo. Insiders get paid to go to markets, get a Weekend Market Plan email every Thursday, see offers from makers, and plan market days with the Market Day planner. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

Create a free organizer account and add your event. Every event is reviewed before it goes live, and events without a verifiable organizer, address, or date are rejected. Once it is live, vendors can find it on the map and apply.

The Free plan covers unlimited events and applications, two-way messaging, the booth map designer, booth fee collection, ticketing with QR check-in, and a market guide for shoppers. Pro is $50/month or $500/year and adds the live map booth designer, team seats, bulk messaging, jury scoring, and a featured placement. Expert is $100/month or $1,000/year and adds satellite booth maps, vendors picking their own booth, unlimited seats, two featured placements, sponsor applications, peer benchmarks, and wider reach. Compare plans at vendorsmap.com/pricing.

Vendors pay by card when you accept them, or you can have their card saved at apply and charged automatically on acceptance. Stripe's standard card fee comes out of each payment, VendorsMap keeps 2% of what remains, and you withdraw the rest to your bank whenever you like. The 2% is the same on every plan. Pro and Expert payments can sync to QuickBooks.

Yes. Add your terms (refund policy, no-show rules, load-in times) to the event and vendors accept them when they apply.

Eventeny is mainly an organizer tool, and events on it often charge vendors a fee per application. VendorsMap is free to browse and apply to, covers every kind of market on one map no matter which tool the organizer uses, and gives organizers applications, booth maps, and payments on a free plan. Full comparison at vendorsmap.com/compare/eventeny.

Zapplication focuses on juried art shows and charges per-application fees, often $5 to $50 each. Applying on VendorsMap is free, and it covers farmers markets, craft fairs, festivals, and pop-ups as well. Full comparison at vendorsmap.com/compare/zapplication.

FestivalNet keeps its core listings behind a paid membership. On VendorsMap every listing is free to browse and apply to, on an interactive map instead of a paged directory. Full comparison at vendorsmap.com/compare/festivalnet.
