Sun Markets
Application & Event Details for Vendors

Thank you for your interest in participating in a Sun Market at Dreki Soul! Our markets bring together local artisans, makers, small businesses and wellness practitioners to celebrate creativity, community and the changing seasons.

​

Our daytime gatherings offer an opportunity to shop small, discover unique handmade treasures, explore local offerings and connect with our community.

Please review all application procedures and event details before submitting your application.

​

APPLICATION PROCESS

Two Markets Open at a Time

We accept vendor applications for two upcoming Sun Markets at a time. Vendors may only be registered for one market at a time and cannot hold spaces at two events simultaneously.

As each market concludes, the next market in the calendar opens for applications, keeping two markets open at all times.

​

Future Market Hold List

Interested in participating in a future market that isn't currently accepting applications? Vendors may request to be added to the hold list for that specific event.

  • Vendors may only be added to one future market hold list at a time.

  • When the current market concludes, vendors on the hold list for the next upcoming market will receive an exclusive email invitation to apply.

  • Hold-list vendors will have one week to submit their applications before remaining spaces open to the public.

  • Joining the hold list does not guarantee a vendor space. It provides early access to the application process.

​

Public Applications

Following the one-week hold-list application period, any remaining spaces will open to the public.

Public applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all available spaces are filled.

Previous participation does not automatically guarantee a space or provide priority during public registration.

​

Application & Registration Guidelines

  • Vendors must submit an application for each market they wish to attend.

  • Vendors may only be registered for one market at a time.

  • Vendors cannot reserve or register for two upcoming events simultaneously.

  • Vendors may only be added to one future market hold list at a time.

  • Applications are reviewed based on available space, variety of offerings and event themes.

  • Vendor spaces are limited.

​

ACCEPTANCE & REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT

Once your application is approved, you will receive an individual acceptance email with instructions for submitting your refundable vendor deposit.

​

IMPORTANT: 7-DAY DEPOSIT DEADLINE

A $25 refundable deposit is required to secure your vendor space.

Your deposit must be received within 7 days of your acceptance email.

If your deposit is not received by the deadline, your space will be released and offered to another vendor.

Additional event details and reminders will be provided to accepted vendors.
