From application to load-in.

  1. Apply on Hivey.

    Pick a market and tell us what you make.

  2. We build the mix.

    Every application gets read. Categories are balanced so you are not set up beside three booths selling what you sell.

  3. You hear back, then you pay.

    Approval arrives by email with payment instructions.

  4. Load-in lands before the day.

    Your booth assignment, the map, parking and load-in times post in Hivey ahead of the market.

Before you apply.

What does a booth cost?
Every fee is listed with its market. A 10x10 booth at the markets taking applications now runs $275 to $325. Food trucks and food tents pay $50 plus 10% of sales. A maker application carries a $10 fee.
How do I apply?
Every application runs through Hivey, the system we use to place makers. Pick a market and its button takes you to the form.
Does everyone who applies get a booth?
No. Some categories fill early. If you are not placed, apply to the next market. A different date may have room in your category.
When do I pay?
The application fee is collected when you submit. Joining a waitlist is free: there the application fee is collected only once you are approved. The booth fee is due only after you are approved. Where a market takes a percentage of sales, it is collected after the event, and your sales report is due within 14 days.
What do I need to bring?
Our markets are outdoors unless the listing says otherwise. Bring a 10x10 tent with weights, tables, chairs and your display, plus lighting if the market runs into the evening. Plan for Colorado weather. We do not provide WiFi, and power is only available at some locations, so ask before you count on it.
Do I need insurance?
Yes. The maker agreement asks for a certificate of liability insurance for the event. If you do not carry a policy, you can buy event coverage in your Hivey dashboard.
