We require vendors to bring everything they need to set up to do business on market day. We are an outdoor market. A few items that are required to participate include a white 10’x10’ pop-up tent, weights to keep your tent stable in windy conditions, tables, chairs, booth displays, etc. We do not provide electricity or water.

 

No worries, we got you! We offer pop-up tent rentals at an additional cost. Tent rentals include weights and will be set up for you on market day. To select the tent rental option, choose “Standard Craft + Tent Rental” before filling out the Vendor Registration Form.

 

Yes! Please select the “Booth Sharing” option from the drop down menu before filling out the vendor registration form. All vendors sharing a booth are required to fill out the booth sharing information and pay the booth sharing fee.

All booth spaces measure 10’x10’ unless you are a located in a food truck space.

At our Ala Moana Center Market, there are two booth options: 8’x8’ (covered, no pop-up tent) and 10’x10’ (uncovered, pop-up tent required).

 

Apply right here on our website by filling out the Vendor Application Form.

We review each application carefully and thoughtfully, and accept makers based on several factors including:

Quality: The use of high-quality materials and overall product that are made to last.

Aesthetic: All aspects of your business including your products, packaging, branding, and marketing are visually-pleasing and align with Mālama Hawai’i Makers Markets aesthetic.

Handmade/Designed/Curated in Hawaii: All products & goods must be handmade, designed, or curated by you in Hawai’i.
