Details:

The Made in Sitka Markets will be located in various meeting rooms in Harrigan Centennial Hall, depending on the date. The markets are strategically placed on some of the busier cruise ship days at the bus drop-off location and will be advertised to both visitors and locals in various media outlets to get maximum participation. Approximate sales hours will be from 9am-3pm with doors open to vendors 7am-4pm for day-of setup and takedown. Table availability ranges from 17-35 tables and priority is a first come first serve basis. Specific details for each event will be emailed to participating vendors one week before each market.

 

Who Can Be A Vendor:

We are seeking full-time, Sitka artisan vendors, local merchants*, consultants*, organizations*, and indoor food vendors. 75% of the event space will be held for local artisan/food vendors. Local merchants, consultants, and other established Sitka organizations are welcome but are asked to provide details on how their table will differ from their current location/items (special items/significant discounts...) to be considered. All vendors are required to be registered with the City of Sitka before the event.

If you are not a full-time resident of Sitka but would still like to participate, you may purchase a "conditional" table and if tables are open 2 weeks before the event, you will be placed on a first come first serve basis based on when your application was submitted. If tables are not available, you will receive a full refund. Please reach out if you have any questions.

 

Market Fees:

Full payment is due with your application to reserve your table(s). Vendors will receive an emailed receipt once their application has been processed. Table assignments and any further details regarding each event will be sent one week before the event date. Full refunds will be given for events that are canceled for any reason, your application is denied or all tables have already been reserved. 

Cancellations:

You may cancel your reservation up to 2 weeks before the event for half of your table fee back. Cancellations 2 weeks or less before the event will result in a forfeit of the entire table fee amount.

 

Provided: 

One (1) 8ft table and two (2) chairs will be provided per table reserved. Wifi will be available at each event. All tables will have access to power. Power strips and extension cords are recommended. Table skirts are provided upon request. Advertising for the event will be done through Facebook, newspaper ads, the community calendar, and outdoor signage. Vendors are expected to also participate in advertising for markets they are signed up for.
