We are looking for unique products, handmade items, and a variety of creations to give the show a cohesive yet varied feel. Patchwork Show chooses vendors through a jury process based on product originality, quantity and branding in each category. Please make sure you take great pictures of your products, they speak volumes! We DON’T accept vendors who resell products that are not designed by them Ie: things like Mary Kay or Scentsy candles. Patchwork Show vendors must design their products and/or make their products. We do accept a small number of well-curated vintage vendors. 

If you need to cancel you must do so thirty days before the show for a refund of your booth fee (application fees cannot be refunded). If you cancel after that, you forfeit your booth fee.

Patchwork Show is a rain or shine event – we do not refund vendors, cancel or reschedule the show due to inclement weather.

Legally, to sell anything anywhere in the state of California you must obtain a seller’s permit from CA State Board of Equalization and collect sales tax for all sales. Some cities where we hold Patchwork Show may ask for a copy of your permit. There also may be additional temporary city seller’s permits required. Info will be on the application. Patchwork Show is not responsible for collecting or making sure you collect and report tax revenues.

We have a very limited number of Experience Booths at each location. Experience Booth vendors provide a free service or experience (tip/suggested donations jars are permitted) for Patchwork Show guests in exchange for a complementary booth at the show. We share about Experience Booths on our social media and in our newsletter. Some examples of Experience Booths include DIY crafting, tarot readings, face painting, some types of musicians, massages, yoga, etc. Experience booths are not intended for handmade vendors. However, if you are a handmade vendor you may add an experience as an extension of your booth in exchange for a discount.

Yes! We especially love having organizations that are aligned with our core values and promote creativity by offering an experience or activity. To be considered, submit an experience only application via our normal application process.

We don’t accept any prepared food vendors (aside from food trucks). All food vendors must either be food trucks or pre-packaged food. Food vendors MUST FILL OUT THE FOOD APPLICATION and submit your health department permit paperwork WITH your application, details are HERE. Once your application is approved, we will send you an email for TFF permit for the given county of the event you applied for. For questions regarding food vendors please email us.

We do extensive promotion of the show to our email list of 30k+, our social media audience of 70k+, and our show partners. We send vendors digital and printed marketing materials and expect them to promote the show thoroughly to their audience.
