Vendors must treat customers, coordinators, volunteers, and fellow participants with respect, kindness, and professionalism.
Harassment, aggressive sales tactics, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

All products must be safe, lawful, and appropriate for a metaphysical/spiritual artisan market.
THE FOLLOWING ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED:
• AI-generated 'art'
• Counterfeit tarot/oracle decks
• Products containing THC and/or alcohol
All product prices must be clearly visible.
Vendors are responsible for their own tax reporting, liability insurance, and any required licensing.
✨ Market-Day Operations:
Vendors must remain open and present during all market hours. If you need a bathroom or food break, kindly ask your booth neighbor to keep an eye on your booth. If an NWMM volunteer is available, they'll be happy to assist you.
Early departure is not permitted without prior approval from NWMM staff. Again, as fellow vendors, we understand that sometimes things come up beyond our control. If you need to leave early, please communicate with NWMM staff or volunteers.
Vendors are responsible for cleaning their booth area before leaving. Please pick up any stray litter during load-out and pull up your booth tape!
Electricity must only be used for approved equipment. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own extension cords, gaffer tape, etc.
