How do I apply to be a vendor?

Applications can be submitted online through our vendor application form here. Spaces are limited, and we recommend applying early.

When will I hear back about my application?

Only accepted vendors will be contacted directly, and we aim to send all acceptances by September 15th. If you don’t hear from us, know that we keep all applications on file, and should a spot open up due to cancellations, we’ll reach out.

What types of vendors do you accept?

We prioritize local makers, artists, and small businesses who create high-quality, unique, and giftable products. We strive for a balanced mix of categories to ensure variety for our shoppers. We do not generally accept MLM businesses.

How much do booths cost?

There are a few different sizes, but fees are between $200-$350.

Are tables and chairs provided?

Tables are available for Large Booths and Table Spaces ONLY. Small Booth vendors are welcome to bring their own tables to a maximum of 6ft in length if they wish to use one at their space.

Chairs are available to all vendors.

Do vendors need insurance or permits?

Vendors are responsible for obtaining any required permits, licensing, and insurance necessary for their business. Please ensure you’re compliant with all local regulations before the market date.

Do you provide power?

A limited number of booth spaces with power are available, and those with food/beverage requirements are prioritized first.

I’ve never been to PTP, what is the traffic like?

Typically we have a Spring and Holiday edition of Peak to Prairie, with the Holiday being the busiest. We’re intentional about curating vendors that match our audience, so while we don’t boast massive crowds, the shoppers who do come are here to buy. Our focus is on creating a successful sales experience for vendors and a comfortable, enjoyable shopping experience for attendees. We put our energy into curating a great mix of vendors rather than adding extra fluff or activities just to draw a crowd. As a result, traffic is steady throughout the day rather than overwhelming.

Is there a fee to get in?

Yes, there is an admission fee. Tickets are available in advance online as well as at the door (subject to availability). This fee helps us cover the costs of running and advertising the market, and ensures attendees come with the intention to shop rather than just browse.

Can I see where my booth is on the floor plan?

We don’t release the finalized floor plan until the week of the market. Why? Because it’s always changing, and sharing versions early can cause unnecessary confusion if things change. We curate the entire experience carefully — including ensuring that similar vendors aren’t placed side by side — so the final plan works best for everyone.

Don’t stress, our team will be onsite to guide you to your booth!

When is set-up?

As Winsport is a busy spot for Holiday parties, set-up is in the morning. Vendors are welcome to arrive any time after 6am, and are expected to be fully set up and ready for doors open at 9:15am.
