- For shoppers: handmade goods, jewelry, art, plants, candles, apparel, vintage, and food from local vendors.
- For vendors: apply per market at https://www.dreamersmarkets.com/apply — each market is its own separate approval. The Dreamers Markets app (iOS + Android) lets vendors apply with one tap.
