Become a Vendor

MitP proudly provides its vendors great foot traffic, a nice outdoor atmosphere, and competitive space fees. Space for vendors is limited and highly competitive, but open for any business that meets these requirements.

  • You are located in, or based mostly in, Colorado. MitP patrons are shopping local.
  • You provide tangible objects for sale at the market. No booths for future services (i.e. window installation) or awareness (i.e. political party).
  • No MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) vendors, franchise vendors, or bulk vendors.
  • We put an emphasis on vintage and handmade products, as a general promotion of the values of sustainability and secondhand shopping.

Read the info below and then fill out the form at the bottom to sign up!

PLEASE NOTE: Signing up only registers you for updates about MitP and eventually signups for the market when the time comes. It does not sign you up for the market itself.

How Signing Up Works

  • For each individual market, an email is sent with info about when that market’s signup will be, so you can prepare.
  • You will get a reminder email about 30 minutes before the specified sign up date/time, as a reminder
  • At the specified date/time, a link will appear on our web site. The location of this link will be clear in the instructions. This link will take you to the Google Form.
  • Spots are essentially “first come, first serve” so it is highly advised to sign up as soon as the link goes out. If you do not sign up quickly enough, you will be waitlisted.
  • You will be contacted with payment instructions if you get a spot! Only once you have paid is your spot secured.
  • Each sign up is just for that market, no others. You are not guaranteed a spot for the next market because you got into one. It resets each time.
  • I reserve the right to curate spots at the market to ensure diversity in offerings. However I take great pains to avoid this.

Rates

  • 10×10 areas on the concrete outside of the Boathouse are $150. All other locations, they are $80.
  • 5×10 areas are $40. These are more limited in number and are best for table-based display setups.

Prohibited Items

The following items are prohibited from being sold at MitP. If you have any questions, please inquire before the event. Bringing prohibited items will result in disqualification from all future MitP markets.

  • Weapons, including knives, guns, or replicas 
  • Federally regulated substances, including alcohol, tobacco, and THC 
  • Fast fashion (e.g., Shein, Forever 21, Cider, etc.) unless items are vintage (at least 20 years old). Up-cycled pieces using fast fashion materials are allowed, but we gently encourage pieces made with higher-quality materials, just because fast fashion pieces tend to be so poorly made.
  • Copyrighted or licensed materials without permission or a proper license (this rule does not apply to secondhand goods) 

Transparency in Vintage

Vintage vendors are required to properly mark any contemporary (modern) pieces as such, so that the buyer knows what they are getting. Bootleg or fake vintage items must also be properly labeled.

A-Hole Free Zone

Vendors are expected to act in a kind and professional manner during their time at the event. This includes treating staff, customers, fellow vendors with kindness and respect. If you are unable to be kind and professional, this is not the event for you. 

Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to: 

  • Sexual harassment 
  • Bullying 
  • Yelling or other aggressive behavior 
  • Cursing 
  • Hate speech 
  • Discrimination of any kind 

Booth Information

Inside the Boathouse, your setup (tables, chairs, racks, etc.) must fit into your assigned space. Chairs, tables, and hanger piles will not be permitted in walkways. Walkways must be kept clear to comply with Fire Marshal and ADA guidelines. In other park areas, there is a little wiggle room, but MitP will be constantly monitoring walkways to make sure that patrons can safely shop. If you have questions about your booth space, we are happy to help!

Booth Sharing/Subletting

Only approved, registered vendors are permitted to set up at MitP. Vendors who wish to share a booth must either apply to vend together or receive prior approval. Vendor acceptance is non-transferable. Failure to obtain approval prior to the market may result in removal from future events.

You are NEVER allowed to send another brand to vend instead of you. We promote you. If you are sending someone else to tend to your booth for you under your brand, please let us know so that I can expect them, and make sure they get the materials.

Competing Music

Vendors are not permitted to play music during the event’s operating hours. MitP will provide music through overhead speakers. Any vendor found playing music during the event will be barred from participating in future events.

“Doubling Up” aka Streaming

Please do not do any auctions or streams on platforms like Whatnot, etc while at the market without proper permission.

Promotion of Events

The promotion of other events is not allowed at MitP without prior approval.

Theft

Shoplifting is not tolerated at MitP. Most instances of shoplifting occur because guests are unaware that they need to pay at each booth. We ask that vendors handle the situation by politely reminding guests to pay before leaving the booth. If the situation escalates, please call MitP organizers for assistance. Any vendor caught stealing from another vendor booth will be removed from MitP and banned from future events.

Sales Tax

Vendors are responsible for charging and remitting sales tax. Sales tax in the city of Denver and the state of Colorado is a combined 8.81%.

Duration of the Event

Vendors are expected to be set up completely by 10am. Being late disturbs the flow of the patrons, as many of them start shopping early. Do not be late.

Vendors are expected to vend until 5pm. Leaving early is looked down upon by market makers and other vendors alike. Even if you have sold out of your product, please stay. Leaving early without proper communication with the market may result in being barred from future markets.

Exceptions to these policies are made for true medical and family emergencies, and significant weather events that we will all be dealing with together.

Weather

Weather conditions are always tricky for outdoor markets and we do our best to deal with them as best as possible on a case-by-case basis. Please note that due to the way that the Parks Dept. books the boathouse, I cannot reschedule or cancel the event due to adverse weather, and I cannot refund you the day of the event. Barring weather that is dangerous or nonsensical, the show will go on. Please review our cancellation/refund policy, and contact me with any questions. The good news is, we’ve never had an issue with this yet!

Canceling & Refund Policy

MitP puts effort into promoting its vendors. Please do not sign up for a market unless you are serious about doing it. If something happens and you have signed up but can’t attend:

  • You can cancel up until a week before the event for a full refund of the space fee.
  • If you need to cancel the week of the event, a refund can happen if, and only if, we find a replacement vendor.
  • If you need to cancel within 72 hours of the event, we cannot refund your booth fee. It is often too difficult to find another vendor by that time. We are as reasonable as possible but this is a firm policy.
  • If you no-show the day of the event without an actual reason, that’s lame and you might not be back.
