Registering for a space

No need to pre-register or apply for space. Vendors may simply check-in and receive a space assignment the day of the event or the day before the event. That allows you to set up your merchandise displays and overnight on the market grounds if you check-in the day before. Merchandise displays may remain set up the entire weekend for multiple day events, as well. Be advised: Shady Hollow is not responsible for damage or loss of merchandise or other vendor belongings. Gates open at 6:00am on market day. You must register at the office to receive your space assignment. Be advised that reserved spaces have priority and the market has been known to sell out. In that case, unreserved vendors will queue on a first come, first served basis.

Reserving a Space

A reservation allows you to select and hold your space for any upcoming market day. Vendors with reservations can avoid that first come, first served risk and will be pre-registered to speed your check-in process on market day. The market layout shows the grounds and each numbered space. Reservations can be made by emailing info@shadyhollowfleamarket.com. Space can be reserved for any period for the upcoming summer season.
