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.

 
 

We offer booth sharing at our Hawaii Kai & Haleiwa Town Markets only. 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.

Booth Spaces at our Hawaii Kai & Haleiwa Town Markets 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).
