STEP ONE

Review the official Vendor Handbook for complete event information, vendor requirements and details.

STEP TWO

All vendors are required to submit a Downtown Forney Market Vendor Application and a signed Indemnity Agreement. If you are a “cottage law producer” or “food vendor” you must apply for a Temporary Food Permit from the City of Forney. Please apply at least 14 business days prior to the market date you plan to attend. Indicate if you are a “cottage law producer” and the date of the market you are attending in the city’s application description. Complete the application online below or mail a printed copy to Forney Arts Council P.O. Box 771, Forney, TX 75126.

STEP THREE

Receive Vendor Confirmation Approval via email. Please allow 3-5 business days for processing and committee approval.

STEP FOUR

Approved vendors will be sent a email to create a vendor profile to complete their registration. For instructions on how to create your vendor profile please view the online video tutorial in the approved vendor email.

STEP FIVE

Once your profile registration is complete, approved vendors will be sent a payment invoice via email for the market dates they are approved to sell. The booth space fee is $30 for all vendors. All vendors must pay for their booth space prior to market date to be guaranteed a space. Late payments will not be accepted. Spots are available on a first come first served basis.
