Farmers-Market-1_-lookingWest

THE 2023  FARMERS’ MARKET IS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. PLEASE FILL OUT THE VENDOR  FORM FOR OUR STANDBY LIST. We are full for 2023 Season. Feel free to fill out, so we have your information.

The 2022 Vail Farmers’ Market & Art Show is a huge success. We estimate 250,000 plus folks visited the Market. We had 146 tents. We promoted the Market in social media, 5280 Magazine and the Vail Daily.

We know of no other market that comes close to the advertising, activities and entertainment that the Vail Farmers’ Market & Art Show provides. 

The 2023 Market will run every Sunday from Fathers’ Day (June 18th) through October 8th. Hours of operation are 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. 17  Markets total.

We will keep our focus on farm & food products while we also promote our Colorado artist/artisan presence. We’ve found that our artistic dimension that has created in Colorado items has helped make the Market attractive to a larger audience of visitors.
Below is a application for the 2023 Market.

We generally know at least a week in advance that affected vendors will not be participating. If you decide to participate in this program, you will generally be notified on Monday/Tuesday that there is an opportunity to participate the following Sunday. You would then have a day to decide if you want to participate that weekend.

Attached is a Standby application for the 2023 Market. The fee is $80 per Sunday we ask you come when we call for three Sundays i.e. $240. Any unused funds will be returned at the end of the season. Also, the Town of Vail requires vendors who do not have a Vail Business License to purchase a $75 Special Event/Sales Tax Permit and to pay a 4% sales tax. An application is available on this website. It is due with your application.

Being a Standby vendor will give you an opportunity to find out if the Vail Market works for you and your product. It also puts you in a better position to become a full time vendor if someone drops out.

Standby vendors will also be added to our list of vendors who will be notified when applications are available for the 2020 Market. However, the number of standby slots is limited so if you’re interested in participating, you should send your application in very quickly. We do not allow any jewelry, clothing or accessories in the market unless you own a Vail business.
