Thank you!
what type of brands do you accept?
Please click here to see the types of brands we accept for our events.
Do you provide tables, chairs, and racks?
We provide chairs for free, but do not provide tables and racks for free. First and foremost, we encourage brands to get away from the use of tables and be as creative and different with their display as possible. But if you need a table, you must supply it yourself or pay an additional $15 to have one provided for you (if we are able to make them available).
are your events free for the public?
Starting in 2022, all of our events will require shoppers to buy tickets. There will be limited free early bird tickets, but once those run out tickets will be between $5-$25, depending on what they come with.

Please see our COVID-19 safety precautions here.

At our lifestyle popups, we aim to have 50-70 different brands across the two days, but sometimes it may be less.
How many people attend your popups?
We get about 200+ Eventbrite registrations on average. Not everyone that comes to the popup registers and we also select venues that have decent to great foot traffic. In 2022, our goal is to have 500+ attendees at the popups and art fairs.

You can choose to participate in one or both days. The daily rate is cheaper if you participate in both days.
