What can I expect in regard to parking?
There is a parking lot right next to the lodge with about 10-15 spots for $2/ hour. In the early morning I imagine there will be ample street parking available as well. If you're physically able we would ask that once you are unloaded please move your vehicle a block or two to give customers more parking near the market. Below is a map outlining areas that should not have 3-hour parking.
Is electricity available?
There are four outlets toward the center of each wall. If you would like to use electricity you would need to purchase one of the larger booths toward the center of the wall. We want to be sure that no tripping hazards are created so please work carefully not to leave loose chords or impede on another vendor's area.
What are you doing to bring people to the show?
The lodge is in downtown Edmonds which gets a ton of foot traffic but we are also doing our best to market the event. Here's what we're doing:
- Adding the event to at least 30 online spots (including local online papers, Nextdoor, Craigslist, and event websites like Edmonds Downtown Alliance, and Best Things WA).
- I am a part of local groups where I'll be sharing each show.
- Paid Facebook ads will run 6 weeks prior to each show.
- The Edmonds Masonic Lodge has offered to also feature our show on their website.
- We are posting lawn signs around the area advertising the show.
- We're making flyers and magnets to hand out and post at local establishments.
- We have a free raffle with each show. The most entries are given to people who come in and enter. The prize is a $50 gift card to Crow (a shop that sells goods from local artists that is just down the road from our show) and a gift basket with items from the vendors.
- We have a banner hung at the Masonic Lodge advertising prior to the show, a bi-fold outside the day of the show, and a stationary poster on the Masonic Lodge during our season.
- Paid advertising with the Edmonds Driftwood Players.
- We provide a webpage for each vendor, showcasing the beautiful works that will be at each show.
What kind of foot traffic do you get?
This is our first year and so far we have seen an average of about 700 people at each show. Some have had more and some have less. As with any show, there are a ton of factors that affect this. We do as much as we can to keep that number high. Below is an image of what it looks like when we're busy.

Are you monitoring how much of a particular item is sold at an event?
We're allowing 2 (3 if unique enough) of each category and a max of 4 jewelry vendors with an attempt to make sure they are of varying styles. When we are full for a particular item I will post it above the categories on our Square page (where you purchase space) so please check there prior to signing up.
How long will it take to get approved?
Approvals will typically happen on the same day but sometimes take us a few days to get to. Zack and I work Monday - Friday so on those days it will likely be in the afternoons.
What is considered handmade?
Anything you make using your own two hands. It could be beaded jewelry or food or digital art. I love Scentsy, Color Street, and other vendors like that, but we are just going for a handmade vibe for now.
How much time will we have for setup and take-down?
We have the space from 8am to 6pm. The show runs from 10am - 4pm. Setup for vendors is 8am - 10am. Please do not setup after the show has begun. Takedown is 4pm - 6pm. Please do not takedown prior to 4pm.
Can I sign up for more than one show?
Yes! You can sign up for one show or every show. You can also purchase multiple spots if you need more room.
Will we need to bring our own tables and chairs?
Yes, we ask that you bring your own.
