FAQ

You can find more detailed information in the Vendor Handbook. You can find them on the Event page on this website or in the Marketspread application. 

How do I apply?

All open applications can be found on our Marketspread page.

Here are a few reasons why you may not see any applications: 

  • There are no open applications. 
  • Applications are private, or invite-only. 
  • Applications are temporarily closed when we are on long waitlists. 
Go to Marketspread

To select dates in Marketspread, follow these instructions:

  • Go to your Marketspread.com dashboard
  • Click on the “Applications” in the left sidebar
  • Click the Event title, like “Clark Park 2025”
  • Use the buttons in the right column to “Request to Attend” or “No Longer Attend”.
  • If you have already been assigned a booth, you need to “Check-In” as “Not Attending”.
  • To do this, click on the date name from your Dashboard, then “Check-In” and select “Not Attending”.

“Assigned” or “Approved” means you are vending on that date!

You are NOT vending if your status is “Pending”, “Not Attending”, or “Rejected”. 

  • Assigned = you are approved to vend, and you have been assigned a booth. 
  • Approved = you are approved to vend that event, but you do not yet have a booth assignment. 
  • Pending = no decision has been made yet, but you have not been approved to vend on that date. 
  • Waitlist = the event is full but you could be contacted if someone drops out or doesn’t pay their invoice. 
  • A “Rejected” status means that you are not allowed to vend due to long waitlists, overdue invoices, no-shows, or violations. 


*Keep in mind that you could be added the week of the Bizarre if vendors drop out or do not pay their invoices! Keep an eye on your Marketspread emails. 

 

HOW TO CHECK YOUR VENDING STATUS

Cost varies based on the event, but there are typically 3 fees associated with each Bizarre: 

  1. The Application Fee is paid when you submit an application to an event. This fee typically ranges from $0 to $10. This is non-refundable.

     

  2. The Approval Fee is paid if and when you are approved to vend at the event. It is typically $0-$10, except at Clark Park where it is $30 because of a longer season.
  3. The Daily Fee is paid each time you vend. It varies based on the event and booth size. At Clark Park, it costs $15 for one table or rack, and $25 for a 10×10 space. 

If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact us at market@westphillybizarre.com. We can help you. 

What you need to bring varies by the event. 

At Clark Park, vendors must bring everything they plan to use, like tables, racks, chairs, and tents. 

At other events, like a retail pop-up, tables, racks, and chairs may be provided. 

*We do not have items for rent, nor can we store items for you. 

We use a platform called Marketspread to manage the overall Bizarre.
