This market is being held indoors in The Rooftop at Ginger and Baker.

All makers must have a Special Events License.

Vendor spaces are table-only spaces. Makers will be assigned a Ginger and Baker-provided table (8.25′ x 2.75′ or 7′ x 2.75′, with one space at the bar being shared)

Displays must stay within the footprint of your table. Please plan to build up, not out, and do not add racks, extensions, or floor displays beyond your table space.

Due to limited space, no more than two people may be positioned behind each table.
