  A one-time application fee of $200 will be required for each 10x10 (approximate) vendor space. Your application will not be considered complete until payment is received. 

What can I sell? What can't I sell?
        The Market is a traditional farmers market. Primary sales will be locally grown farm products, baked goods, and homemade crafts. Farmers may collaborate with other local farmers to bring their product to Market. All items sold by the applicant will be reviewed and must be high quality, safe and an enhancement to the Market atmosphere. If your items are NOT handmade, homemade or homegrown, you will be asked to remove them from your table or leave the market. Organically grown products must be certified by the State. You cannot use "organic" wording to describe your product unless it has been certified organic. Market Days staff reserves the right to refuse vendor participation if the product does not fit the primary mission of the Market.

Do I need a business license?
        Market Days on Broadway does not require proof of a Business License, but we do submit all vendor information to the Department of Revenue who requires vendors to pay all state and local taxes plus follow all state and local laws.

Do I need to pay taxes?
      Vendors are required to pay all applicable state and local taxes. Uptown Columbus Inc. is not affiliated in any way with this process. Vendors may be subject to inspection at any time from a Georgia tax representative. 

Do I need to have Food Safety Certifications?
Yes, it is the vendors responsibility to follow all city and state regulations regarding food safety and obtain the necessary certifications to sell their products to the public. A copy of the certification or license is not required with this application.


Do I have to come every weekend?
         Vendors that miss 3 consecutive weeks may lose their designated spot. This is an effort to keep our market robust and dense.
