Are you ready to get your brand in front of eager audiences who are looking to support local creatives like you? We would love for you to apply to our upcoming events!
Our markets were founded by creatives and created specifically to give you the best chance at success.
We partner with top-tier shopping centers, real estate developments, and cities who are invested in helping small businesses like yours thrive.
Since 2018, our team has produced more than 140 markets and festivals, working with 400+ local creative brands like yours. We have driven hundreds of thousands of dollars of sales.
We ensure our events are well marketed, with lots of interested attendees that you can sell to.
Our partner venues are required to spend money on paid ads and press outreach to generate traffic.
Our Dallas metro locations are in West Plano, Lakewood, Knox Street, and Highland Park - some of DFW's most affluent areas.
Our vendors report greater sales at our events than other locations.
Our event team has produced hundreds of events, from large multi-stage music festivals, to massive main street fests that span multiple blocks.
We pride ourselves on being organized and communicating clearly with all of our vendors.
For each event, we provide a detailed vendor page with load-in information, site map, marketing materials, and helpful tips so you will be fully prepared.
We pride ourselves on hosting events that are highly curated.
We have a much stricter selection process than most, and focus on high quality handmade, artisan designed, or ethically sourced products that will hold up over time.
Don't want to bring your own tent? We can rent one of our professional-grade white tents to you! (We own 40 of them)
We also provide power access for all events that extend into the evening. (We have more than 2000 feet of extension cords!)
After hosting 140+ events at dozens of locations, we have learned what works and what doesn't for drawing traffic and generating sales for you.
We only work with the best venues, and have turned down lots of locations that we felt would not work.
Lively along with our property partners invest in PR and influencers for advertising events, along with paid ads on Instagram and Facebook.
There's lots of good information in here! If you have a question you can't find an answer to, please email us - hello (at) livelylocalmarkets.com
To access our applications, fill out the short vendor interest form at the top of this page!
We use one application for all upcoming events in each city. You’ll fill out the form once to tell us about your brand. There is no cost to apply.
We review applications on a rolling basis for remaining 2025 events and twice a year for 2026 so we can build balanced lineups.
If your brand is a good fit, we’ll send you event invitations throughout the year. Each invitation includes the event details and a payment link. Your booth is confirmed once payment is received. Acceptance to one event doesn’t guarantee acceptance to every event—we rotate and limit categories to keep markets fresh.
You do not need to reapply each season. Once approved, you stay on our vendor list for the rest of the year, and we’ll continue inviting you to events that match your availability and category.
For our remaining 2025 dates, we will invite brands who are a fit on a rolling basis.
For our 2026 dates, we will review applications twice a year so we can plan balanced lineups across all our events.
Vendors who apply by each deadline will be reviewed and notified of acceptance shortly after.
We may also invite brands that fit to events throughout the year.
• March to September 2026 events: Applications due by January 14, 2026
• September to December 2026 events: Applications due by May 1, 2026
• January to May 2026 events: Applications due by December 7, 2025
• September to December 2026 events: Applications due by May 1, 2026
If you’re not accepted, we’ll do our best to let you know. Due to volume, we may not be able to notify every applicant individually.
If you haven’t heard from us within four weeks of a deadline, it likely means your category is full or your brand wasn’t the right fit this round.
Please do not contact us about the status of your event application.

Yes! We set restrictions on the number of vendors in each category so that there is a larger amount of variety in the vendor mix.
Our most popular categories are Jewelry, Candles, and Baked Goods. If you are in those categories, there is a higher likelihood that you may not be accepted.
Yes we do, but we limit the amount of these type of vendors and are quite strict on who we accept.
For smaller events, we may only allow one in each of these categories. For larger events, we may allow two. We will not accept vendors who desire to offer more than one of these services in their booth.
We primarily focus on brands where the seller makes or designs the products they sell. In the case of Permanent Jewelry, Charm Bars, or Hat Bars most if not all of the products are being sourced wholesale and not designed by the maker.
For that reason, we take extreme caution in who we accept, and we do require a higher vendor fee which starts at double the standard booth fee.
If you are in this category and want the best chance at being accepted, we want to see:
Additionally:
If you are accepted, we will send a form to you where you can make payment and confirm your space.
Each of our events has different processes for load-in, parking, and logistics. When you are accepted you will receive a link to a vendor information packet that includes everything you will need to prepare for the event.
Each event packet will detail what is provided on our end.
For daytime events, our most basic spots are the "space only" spots, which means we only provide the space to you and you bring your entire setup.
For any events that extend into the evening, we will provide power access to be used for lighting only. An outlet will be available within 20 feet of your booth.
For some events, we offer tent rentals, or a tent is included in the booth fee. If this is the case, we will provide a professional grade white 10x10 foot tent with sandbag weights.
You would need to bring everything else to ensure you are ready to sell at your booth.
We encourage creative setups that go above and beyond just your products. Think about creating a mini store for customers that matches your brand and sets you apart from your neighbors. We love to see rugs, plants, and displays beyond just a covered folding table.
Nearly all of our events are outside and subject to weather.
In the case of significant inclement weather (heavy rain, lightning, hail, high winds), we will make a decision to adjust the hours of the event, postpone the event and reschedule, or cancel altogether. If an event is cancelled due to weather or circumstances out of our control, a credit will be issued to you to be used for one of our future events.
Please read our Terms and Conditions for more details on our weather and cancellation policies.
We love our maker community!
