DO YOU HAVE ANY SCHOLARSHIP BOOTHS?

Yes! We want to make our markets as accessible as possible, so we offer 1 free scholarship booth per market. This means that the booth fee will be waived but you will still need to pay the 10% Seattle Parks Gross Fee as this is a requirement by the city.

After each market hosted in Alki Beach Park or other parks under Seattle Parks & Recreation, vendors are required to fill out a Report of Gross Sales form and pay 10% of their gross revenue to Seattle Parks.

Our goal is to make sure the participating vendors design and/or hand-make their products, keep a balanced number of BIPOC vendors, and choose vendors from each category.
