Our goal is to help emerging local creatives and their brands flourish. We have tons of events planned this year, and would love to have you join us.
Our markets were founded by creatives and created specifically to give you the best chance at success.
Our team produced over 20 markets and festivals in 2019, and we have more than 40 planned for 2020.
We ensure our events are well marketed, with lots of interested attendees that you can sell to.
We pride ourselves on being organized and communicating clearly with all of our vendors. For each event, we provide a detailed vendor page with load-in information, site map, marketing materials, and helpful tips so you will be fully prepared.
We curate each market with local makers who sell high-quality products and are a fit for the event and its demographics.
Each market has different acceptance criteria. Please check the requirements for a specific event lower on this page.

Dallas, Texas — Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge

All Out Trinity is the largest outdoor day of fitness and culture in Dallas with over 5,000 participants and attendees. Hosted throughout Harold Simmons Park, All Out Trinity includes a run, bike race, yoga, a community marketplace, and other activities on the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge and Felix H. Lozada Sr. Gateway.
All DFW-based creatives, makers, and brands are open to apply.
West Dallas / Oak Cliff neighborhood residents can apply for a reduced price space. 5 will be chosen by the All Out Trinity staff.
— All vendors using tents must secure their tent with 20 lbs per leg (80+ lbs total).
All spaces for this event are 10 ft x 10 ft.
Pricing of spaces for this event is tiered based on how close your booth is to the main plaza. All booths will receive tons of traffic (over 4,000 attendees), but those closest to the plaza will have the most visibility.
Payment will be collected when you submit the application.
Tier 1 — $300.00 — 12 spaces
Tier 2 — $225.00 — 14 spaces
Tier 3 — $150.00 — 6-10 spaces (Children's section next to Playground)
Tier 4 — $75.00 — 20-50 spaces
Neighborhood Resident (Tier 4) — $25.00 — limited to 5 spaces
* Sales Tax and Card Processing Fees are additional *
We provide a 10 foot x 10 foot space, marked along the ground.
There will be no access to power or wifi - please plan accordingly.
This is a very unique event as the Community Marketplace (vendor area) is located fully on the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge. (The view of the Dallas skyline is truly awesome.)
Due to the complex nature of the event, all vendors must load in fully the afternoon or evening before the event (on Friday, March 27 from 4:00pm to midnight). On the event day it will not be possible to conveniently access the event site for load-in due to road closures and general event setup.
You may partially or fully set up your space on Friday, and may continue to set up your space on Saturday morning. All vendors must be onsite by 8:00am and ready to sell at 9:00am.
We will have overnight security to keep the area secure and watch over your products. There have been no issues with this in years past.
Because the Marketplace is located on the pedestrian bridge, you may be subjected to medium gusts of wind. This could disrupt your selling by knocking products over and there is a danger of your tent flying away (it has happened!).
Therefore we will be requiring weights of 20 lbs or more on each leg of your tent for the entire event. Vendors without proper weights will be asked to continue without a tent or leave for safety reasons.
In addition, we highly recommend using side walls for your tent, which will help shield you from any gusts of wind. They are also useful for securing your tent overnight on Friday. (These are not a requirement, but again, highly recommended.)
Full refunds will be available up to 30 days prior to the event. Cancellations within 8-30 days of the event will be provided with a credit to use toward space fees at future Lively events. Cancellations within 7 days of the event will result in your space fee being forfeited, as vendors will already be announced and we will not have enough time to find a replacement.
The event is rain or shine. If there is extreme severe weather and the organizers or the City of Dallas decide to cancel the event or activities on the bridge, full refunds or future event credits will be issued.

Dallas, Texas — The Shops at Park Lane
8080 Park Ln, Dallas, TX 75231
Come shop local at The Shops at Park Lane this spring - featuring over 30 local artisan vendors, live music, a photo booth, activities, and more!
We have partnered with The Shops at Park Lane to create a local shopping event series this Fall! The market is located outdoors on a closed street in the heart of the property (between Starbucks and J Crew/Eddie Bauer). This is a great opportunity to sell your goods in one of Dallas' highest visited shopping designations, and an excellent way to reach affluent shoppers from Highland Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
All DFW-based creatives, makers, and brands are open to apply.

— All food items must be packaged, and sealed where possible or required by law. Due to COVID-19, we will not allow any unpackaged food items.
— Food items sold in most cases are not intended to be consumed at the Market. Masks will be required inside the market, so it will not be possible to eat inside the market. However, attendees may eat any food products purchased once they exit the market area.
— All food items must be properly labeled, in accordance with the Cottage Food Law (see rules) or other laws which govern food labeling.
— For baked goods, we recommended (but do not require) goods to be labeled with a recommended "consume by" date. Also please inform customers upon purchase of recommended instructions for storage (refrigerate, freeze, keep in cool dry place, etc)
