Thank you so much for your interest in being a vendor at the 2024 Made in MiraBay Holiday 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 9 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 Holiday Market donation will go to the Mary & Martha House.
The event is held on the green space in front of the MiraBay Community Clubhouse with food trucks placed in a circular drive around a water fountain. The event is open to the public. We have averaged between 40-50 vendors at our events. Attendance has been strong, however we do not have a way to gauge numbers due the event is free and it is an open air access. There are no gates for attendees to go through. Our Holiday Market has always been the largest Market as this particular Saturday is know as "Small Business Saturday" nationwide!
We have space for 50 vendors and 2 food trucks. The MiraBay Cafe will be participating in this event and selling hamburgers and hotdogs. Food trucks selling this food items will not be accepted.
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, previous vendors, and those food trucks selling food for lunch meals. You will not be charged until you are approved. It may take up to a week for an approval/rejection notification. Thank you for your patience.
No electricity or running water is available. Set up is between 9-10am for food trucks.
Due to events planned already planned at the MiraBay Clubhouse throughout the month of December, there will be no rain date for this event should the Market be cancelled in due to inclement weather. If the Market is cancelled vendors/food trucks will receive a refund of their booth fee within 7-10 business days.
