We intentionally curate our vendor list to avoid oversaturation and ensure vendors have the best possible experience.

Full logistics details will be shared with accepted vendors.
We prioritize affordable vendor rates designed to support small businesses and creators. Vendor tables are $75 for the first table and $50 for each additional table. The first-table fee has increased to cover the venue’s 10% charge on vendor sales. VGC will cover that charge from table fees, so vendors will not need to pay it separately.
Our goal is to create a win-win environment where vendors see strong value while keeping the event accessible to attendees.
