How Vendors Are Chosen

The Bazaar Bizarre is a juried craft fair that selects vendors based on various elements such as:
· Individuality
· DIY-sensibility
· Quality of work
· Diversity of Products

We have a rotating panel of judges from diverse organizations and backgrounds to ensure a diverse and quality showcase of crafters and products.

Traditionally we have received more vendor applications than there are vendor spaces. So the more information you provide in your application—the more we’ll be able to consider when making our decision.

One vendor space may be shared amongst more than one crafter. Just be sure to give us information about all the crafters involved on the application.

Event Logistics

This is a two-day event being held October 18th, 2008 from 10am to 10pm and October 19th, 2008 from 11am to 6pm . The event will be held at the Travis County Event Center and Fairground.

More details about the event will be sent to accepted vendors.

Booth Logistics

Vendors are given a 6'x6' space. A 6 ft. table and two chairs will be provided. Vendors must leave their space clean and garbage-free. Bazaar Bizarre San Francisco and Maker Faire are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged property or for any bodily injury before, during or after the event.

Costs

The fee for one vendor space is now $130.00


We can understand that vending may seem costly and we try to keep costs at a minimum for you. Historically Bazaar Bizarre has proven to be a successful show for a majority of our vendors and brought them greater visibility among consumers, media and wholesale buyers alike. Based on an anonymous survey Bazaar Bizarre conducted with San Mateo Maker Faire (2008) more than 67% of vendors earned a gross profit of $700 USD or more, 26% of them earning $1,500 USD or more in total sales. 96% of our vendors grossed at minimum, twice their vendor fees. Projected attendance for this year's Maker Faire Austin is 35,000 attendees! For more information about Maker Faire Austin download this Informational Flyer

Payment Info

If you are accepted, payment is due by August 25th 2008. If you are accepted into the event but you decide not to attend, there are no refunds after you pay. Also if you do not pay by the due date you risk forfeiting your space.
