We ask that all interested participants first read through our Market Guidelines. If you feel that your business may qualify, please fill out the appropriate application (Vendor; Non-Profit; Professional Services; Musician; Family Entertainment Tent). Please submit your application and all other required documents to our Market Coordinator @ Marketadmin@waukeshadba.com. You may also mail or drop off your application to 235 W.

One of our Market Directors will review your application and contact you via phone for a brief interview. If all qualifications have been met, you will be accepted as a vendor for our Market.

All stalls are 10’x10’ and accommodate a 10’x10’ tent. We offer a single stall (10’x10’), double stall (10’x20’) and triple stall (10’x30’). Additionally, you can choose if you need a vehicle stall or a nonvehicle stall.

Dailies will find out their stalls through an email from the Market Coordinator. This email will be sent out initially by Wednesday at 5pm and the final copy will be sent out by Friday at 5PM. The email will include a map with stall numbers included.

A daily vendor is a vendor who does not purchase a full season or partial season package (Off-peak & Peak). Daily vendors come only on Saturdays they request and pay a fee per Saturday that they attend. This would include nonprofits, professional services, and community partners. Depending on Market capacity, dailies are not guaranteed a stall on a requested date.

Yes. Every stall has a number painted in bright yellow paint, as well as markings indicating the front corners of their stall. Vendors cannot exceed their stall limits.

Market staff can help specific vendors with throwing their garbage in the dumpster on an individual basis. If you have a need, please reach out to the Market staff for further information. Market staff cannot guarantee help for the entire Market with dumping their trash.

Vehicle stalls can vary in size, but most regular-sized vehicles will fit such as a minivan, small SUV/truck or 4 door sedan. If you have a larger vehicle, please reach out to our Market Coordinator.

We have signs that will be posted pointing to the new area, as well as listing which vendors are in this area. Additionally, we have moved a few sought after Market vendors to that area.

Non-profits and professional service vendors are not allowed to purchase a seasonal plan unless they make a local good and intend to sell them at the Market. You may also contact one of our Market Directors regarding a sponsorship opportunity. Some sponsorships offer a partial or full season stall.

Non-profits are assigned to empty stalls. These stalls are either empty because the vendor normally assigned there is gone that day or there is not yet a permanently assigned vendor. Non-profits do not have a permanently assigned stall.
