Honest reviews of markets, festivals & fairs — by the vendors who worked them.
Most vendors go into markets blind and hopeful. Vendor Market FYI helps you go in informed — see what other vendors actually earned, what the organizers are really like, and (for food vendors) how painful the permits are, before you commit to a booth.
Our mission: bring transparency to the vendor world — so vendors can pick the events that are the right fit, and organizers get the honest feedback they need to build better markets.

How Vendor Market FYI works
Vendors submit reviews
Anyone who paid for a booth can rate a market on overall experience, foot traffic, sales/ROI, and organizer quality.
We average the scores
Each market's rating is the average across all its reviews — more reviews means a more reliable number.
Food vendors add permit intel
Cost, difficulty, and whether the organizer pulls the permit for you or leaves it to the vendor.
Reviews are crowdsourced and self-reported, so treat them as directional, not gospel. We remove spam and obvious fakes. The more vendors who contribute, the better the signal gets.
About
Vendor Market FYI is an independent directory built by and for market vendors. It started because most vendors go into markets blind and hopeful — there was no easy way to know if an event was worth the booth fee before showing up. Our mission is simple: more transparency for vendors choosing where to sell, and more honest feedback for organizers who want to build better markets. It's free, public, and community-powered.
