The Missoula People’s Market extends a warm invitation to guest vendors! If you’re an artist or craftsman selling your own work, this is the place for you. Here are the details you need to know:

​

1. Qualifications:

   • Guest vendors must create handmade items.

   • We accept a wide variety of work, including but not limited to:

     • Paintings

     • Sculptures

     •  photography

     • Ceramics

     • Illustrations

     • Jewelry

     • Woodcrafts

     • Handmade clothing

     • Needlecrafts

     • Machine-made items with significant embellishment.

2. Logistics:

   • The market runs every Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm, starting from May 4th through September 28th.

   • Guest vendor spaces are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at 7:30 am. (Guest start arriving at 6:00 am)

   • Despite the 3-foot health code booth spacing, we anticipate having at least 20 guest vendor spaces available each week.

3. Fee:

   • The fee to be a guest vendor is $25 per market.

   • We request that the fee be paid by exact cash or check only.

4. How to Join Us:

   • Park near the intersection of Higgins and Pine.

   • Head west on Pine Street.

   • Look for our market tent adorned with a Missoula Peoples Market banner, located near Thomas Meagher Bar.

   • Arrive as early as 7 am and inform our market manager of your interest in guest vending.

   • You’ll need to fill out a form with your basic information and sign a liability waiver.

   • Once completed and the $25 fee is paid, you’ll be randomly assigned an available space.

   • Space letters and numbers are painted on the street—locate your spot and start setting up!

5. Set-Up Details:

   • You’re allowed to pull your car into your space for unloading.

   • Load in, park your car, and then return to finish your set-up.

   • This process helps prevent traffic through the market.

   • Your set-up must be complete when the market opens at 9 am.

   • If you plan to set up a canopy, note that we require proper weighting: 25 lbs per corner for canopies and 50 lbs for umbrellas.

   • Shelter is optional, especially on beautiful days.

   • Guest vending with us provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase your original work in a welcoming and relaxed environment. 

 

All experience levels are welcomed—we hope to see you this summer! 🌞🎨🛍️
