Who We Are

Market in the Park-et is Denver’s premiere vintage and handmade market, featuring the finest local businesses in–you guessed it–the park. We proudly provide our partner businesses great foot traffic, a nice outdoor atmosphere, and competitive space fees. Spots at our events have become highly competitive, which serves as a testament to our organization, communication, and fair treatment of businesses (not to mention our ability to pull off a fun day). Market in the Park-et has become a community of market makers and goers to connect, collaborate, and celebrate shopping local.

We’re Looking For…

Our event focuses on high-quality products and sustainable secondhand shopping. This means an emphasis on vintage clothing, home goods, and collectibles, as well as up-cycled creations, custom clothing and jewelry, artwork and similar businesses that fit with our vibe. Our signup process ensures that our market is as inclusive as possible and that no event will be exactly alike.

Our markets feature 60-150 local businesses selling true vintage, streetwear, custom and upcycled jewelry, plants, records, home goods, baked goods, original artwork, photography portraits, and more. We have a few basic eligibility rules:

• Be local to Colorado
• Provide tangible products (no informational booths for awareness or future services)
• Offer products that were made or found by you (no MLM, no drop shipping, no Temu, no wholesale, no “fair trade,” no A.I.)
• Adhere to our Vendor Policies

When it comes to “Handmade” goods, for the purposes of this market, we define handmade to mean:

• The product was created through physical labor by the person in that booth. (A partner or team member representing the maker is a reasonable exception)
• The product was made in a way that the vendor had control over the materials involved in the process. i.e, you chose what fabric, not a factory.
• The product is inherently limited in scalability due to both of the above factors

How Signups for the Markets Work

• Sign-ups for the market happen on an ongoing basis, roughly a month before each event.
• Details about when a market’s signup is and how it works will be emailed to our vendor communications list (link to join this)
• At a specified date and time, a link to sign up for the market will go out to vendors on the list.
• Vendors who sign up are evaluated on a “first-come, first serve” basis. If you haven’t vended with us before, I take a look at a variety of factors (your products, whether you adhere to our policies, the balance of the market’s offerings as it stands, etc). I try as hard as possible to include everyone we can, but at this point with extremely limited space and extremely large interest, there are occasions where I have to consider the experience of the patrons w/r/t quality and variety.
• I then communicate with those who were accepted, and those who were waitlisted.
• Signing up for the communications list does not automatically sign you up for the market.
• Signing up for a market only signs you up for that individual market, not any other market. It resets each time.
