SK Spring Market

This is an outdoor market that happens rain or shine on the Saturday before Mother’s Day (May 9, 2026).

The event is held in the South Kitsap High School parking lot and benefits the South Kitsap Orchestra Booster Club.

Vendors pop up primarily in 10×10 tents and food trucks / trailers, etc, and are responsible for providing the tent, weights, tables, displays, etc. (Tables and chairs are available to rent in the application process.)

Load in begins at 8am, the market runs 10am-4pm, and we’re loaded out by 6pm.

*There is no public wifi, running water, or electricity available for these outdoor events.

South Kitsap Spring Market is for handmade businesses and makers, vintage goods, food trucks, and experience providers. 

This can include designers that have their products produced for them (but preferably with local manufacturing and sustainable practices!), as well as other types of small businesses like curated vintage, plants, sustainability, and food trucks/stalls.

Businesses who are ONLY RESALE of new items – i.e. thrifted/vintage is resale but also a sustainable practice and is allowable.

Reselling new items, boutique-style, or items purchased wholesale and directly reselling would not be allowed. This also includes direct sales/MLM.

Other types of products / businesses that are not accepted:

• Crystals – this is considered resale unless you’re hand mining/foraging, shaping/carving, or otherwise changing the crystal into a different product
• Imported – goods that are imported from another country to be resold, even if they are handmade products, will not be accepted
• Services – medical, chiropractic, massage, beauty, or other will not be accepted
• Political – this is a non-political space and no booths for organizations or individuals with a political-type agenda will be accepted

We are looking for businesses that have a distinct brand and identifiable products – products that make you go, “Oh! That’s So and So’s product!”

If you make lots of different types of products, make sure they feel cohesive and recognizable as your brand and your designs – not something copied or inspired by other artists or generic designs that are readily available. 

We are looking for businesses that stand out and are original.
