The Holiday Young Entrepreneur Marketplace application is now online! Please click on this link to fill out the application.
Keep in mind the Young Entrepreneurs Marketplace is very popular and space is limited. A wait list will be created when it is full. Remember we are hosting a Spring marketplace too in April.
Here are some reminders and tips to get you started:
- Business owners must be between the ages of 6 and 21 years old.
- No manufactured or wholesale products will be accepted.
- We anticipate 500+ shoppers, so be able to produce enough products – or you can plan to accommodate special orders.
- Plan to be at the Marketplace from 9 am to 2 pm.
- All booths must have a youth business owner (not an adult) selling the products or services at all times.
- Everyone will also need to keep track of all sales, because all businesses are required to pay sales tax.
