2024 Made in MiraBay Fall Market Vendor

Thank you so much for your interest in being a vendor at the 2024 Made in MiraBay Fall Market! We are delighted that you want to be a part of this event. Please note that products sold by vendors must be handmade. Applications by direct sales consultants, service-oriented businesses, or brick and mortar shops will NOT be accepted! Before submitting your application, please read the following to familiarize yourself about MiraBay and our Market.
MiraBay is a planned, coastal community, located just south of Tampa, along the Bay. “Made in MiraBay” is a group of creative residents who paint, sew, build, crochet, bake (and more!) one of a kind items. Our goal is to foster creativity amongst neighbors in Mirabay and surrounding communities. With the encouragement of our members and help of our Clubhouse managers, we organized 8 successful outdoor markets for MiraBay residents and local artists since November of 2021. Organizers of the Made in MiraBay Markets, do not profit from vendor booth fees. They are purely volunteers. The booth fee vendors pay to participate is applied to any expense incurred for organizing the event (i.e. port-a-potties, vendor refreshments, etc.). Money remaining is then donated to local charities. 2024 Made in MiraBay Fall Market donation will go to Kay's Ministries 2024 Shoebox of Joy Campaign. The event is held on the green space in front of the MiraBay Community Clubhouse and is open to the public. We have averaged between 30-40 vendors at the events and we expect to grow this year (our Spring Market hosted 50 vendors). With that in mind, those who have  participated as a vendor with us in the past need to be aware that the layout of the booths are subject to change the more vendors we have.  We have room for 50 vendors for this event and are expecting at least 35 (we did have 50 vendors for our Spring Market)t. Based on that amount, we need to limit the number of vendors to 3 each who exclusively sell products in the following categories: 

• soaps/lotions/body care/aromatherapy oils
• wreaths
• sublimation tumblers
• gourmet baked goods
• wood cutting/charcuterie boards.

 To clarify, this means the vendor ONLY sells these products and DOES NOT sell other items along with them.  If you exclusively sell any of the above mentioned products, your booth will not placed near another vendor that sells exclusively that same product. If you sell a variety of products which may include one of the above mentioned, there is no guarantee you will be not be placed near another vendor who has a mix of products that may have one similar to yours. If you sell a variety of products, it is very important you describe all types of products you sell in the application. Applications will be granted on a first-come-first-serve basis for these categories. If you apply and we are already at our limit for the categories mentioned, you will be put on a waiting list. If one of those vendors cancel you will be contacted and asked if you are still interested in participating at the event. While this event is not juried, you do have the option to submit pictures of your items if you'd like as you are filling out the application. All applications are subject to approval. Preference given first to MiraBay Residents and previous vendors. You will not be charged until you are approved. Please understand that if you are not a MiraBay resident or previous vendor, it may take up to a week to receive an approval/rejection notification. Thank you for your understanding. Booth space is 10x10 and located on the front lawn of the Mirabay Clubhouse. Vendors must provide their own equipment including tables, chairs, tents, food, etc. No electricity or running water is available at the booths. Set up time is 7:30am-10:00am.
