Note to Vendors: please be advised that you cannot sign up for just one day and you are not allowed to share booth space with other vendors. All products intented to be sold at the market must be listed in the application and applicable permits included if items intended to be sold are consumables.
Cancellation Policy: If you are accepted as a vendor but can no longer attend, you will have until October 1, 2023 to notify us (colleen@dakotacc.com). We will issue a refund (minus a $25 administration fee.) After that date, no refunds will be issued.
Pop-Up Markets
Pop-Up Markets will do just that - pop up out of nowhere. These markets are going to be smaller in nature and will occur during larger events that take place at Dakota Community Centre. Location of the markets will vary depending on the event and will be communicated as each pop-up market is announced. To participate, simply check off the option in the application form and we'll inform you when these markets occur.
Cancellation Policy: A cancellation policy will be communicated for each pop-up market event.
Notice to Food Truck Vendors: If you would like to participate in any large scale events held at DCC that include tournaments and Dakota Days held August 18 & 19, 2023, please fill out the below Market Vendor Application. You will be placed on a notification list and will be contacted when we are soliciting Food Trucks. Please note that a copy of your health permit will need to be uploaded to your application. Also be advised that there is no access to power to run a mobile food truck. You will need to bring and operate your own generator.
