Frequently asked questions.

Why is there a $5 application fee?

The $5 fee ensures that we only get serious applications. The money we receive from the applications goes to improving and expanding the show.

What if I was accepted but can no longer participate in the show?

Let us know ASAP if you can no longer participate in the event so we can give your spot to a waitlisted artist. No-shows on the event day will likely result in the inability to provide a refund and may hurt your chances of being accepted into future events. However, things happen, so reach out, and we will do our best to work with you.

Will there be an option to have a table that is close to/not close to live music?

Due to request made last year about the volume of the music in proximity to our vendors, we have positioned the stage on the opposite side of the square from our vendors.

What happens if my application is denied?

We are working hard to accommodate more vendors, but we have limited space. If denied, we invite you to reach out to us and learn how to improve your chances of acceptance the following year. Of course, You can always try again!

Why might my application get denied?

We typically deny vendors due to the number of applications that come in selling a similar category of work, meaning we have to be picky. We also deny applications if you have no-showed our event or if we can tell you didn’t take the time to correctly fill out the form.

What happens if I get waitlisted?

If you are waitlisted, you are not denied from participating in the show. You will still be able to sell if one of our accepted vendors drops out.

Will there be special accommodations for vendors who may need it?

Yes! If you are accepted into the show and need assistance, please reach out to us, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Can I apply to both the juried show and the booth event?

Yes! Please fill out the juried show application located under apply in the menu on our website.

Have any tips for a having a successful day at DMF?

Yes! We are working with some of our most successful vendors to create a list of tips for a successful show. So check back soon to learn more.

How can I get involved in making the show better?

We are always looking for help. If you have a skill that you think would benefit DMF or want to volunteer, don’t hesitate to email us.
