FAQ for vendors
What is the Industry Flea?
The Industry Flea is an open air market located in the heart of Midtown, featuring vintage finds, craftsmen and local shops.
Why is it called the Industry Flea?
Industry was inspired by the work that we see our local shops and artisans putting into their businesses. This throwback style of craftsmanship is our version of modern industry.

What is each vendor responsible for?
Each vendor will manage their own station, including point of sale and employees. The Industry Flea will handle the marketing and management of the event as a whole, but will not be providing any staffing or assistance to individual vendor operations. Vendors may bring a solid color tent or any furniture to merchandise their space with. Tents are not provided by Industry Flea.
Can I bring my trailer or truck to sell as a mobile retail vendor?
Yes! We are setting aside a portion of the event specifically for mobile retailers and trailers. Vendors will be able to load furniture on a flat-bed trailer and sell out of the space without unloading or operate a mobile retail cargo trailer. These spaces are $50 and do not include electricity.
How much does it cost to be a vendor at the Industry Flea?
There is a non-refundable $10 application fee to be entered into the pool . A 10x10 space is $75 per day. A trailer space is $50 per day.
