Can I participate in other events at Lansdowne Park and still become a vendor at 613flea?
If you participate in other events/markets at Lansdowne Park, your product becomes less of an attraction to draw customers to 613flea.
We give preference to vendors who are not participating in other events at Lansdowne Park within 30 days before of after a 613flea market.
Why have I not been accepted?
613flea has a team that reviews every application for selection.
We do get many more applications than booth space and it is not possible to for us to provide vendor feedback on your application.
There may be several reasons why your application was not accepted.
1. First of all, there is a limited amount of booth space for new vendors.
2. We aim for a good balance. For example, if there are already several vendors who sell soap at the market (and you sell soap), then you would be less likely be accepted.
3. 613flea gives priority to vendors who have an active online presence. This can mean a website and/or a good social media presence. An Instagram account is a minimum requirement. Why? Because 613flea requires that vendors help promote the event.
4. We’ve learned over time that there is a market for pretty much everything. Your product may just not be a good fit with the 613flea market (i.e. your product may not be compatible with the overall retail mix at 613flea).
5. We don’t accept resellers, direct sales or mass-produced items.
What can I sell?
Crafts - locally made by you.
Products that you have created or designed.
Antiques
Vintage
Vintage Clothing
Food - VERY IMPORTANT -if you are selling, sampling or serving any food items - CLICK here.
Can I demonstrate what I do?
Yes, please, please do! If you are you an artist-please make art, a maker please, ah, make. You get the idea. Demonstrating helps engage shoppers with your product!
Any tips about selling?
As a matter of fact we do.
1. Price your product (people are often reluctant to ask).
2. Brand your product - have your name out front and centre (banner/sign/business cards).
3. Get a point of sale card reader such as Square - it will increase your sales!
4. If you are using just one table - set it close to the aisle (people don't always want to "step into" a booth).
5. Most people are a bit shy when browsing. Just be friendly and say something!!! A simple “hi” can break an
uncomfortable silence.
Is there parking?
Lansdowne Park
Underground parking is available on site (for vehicles that normally fit in underground parking lots!).
Weekend parking rates are $4.00 hour with a $25 daily maximum - EXCEPT on special events such as RedBlack football games when parking for over 3 hours is a $30.00 flat rate charge.
Larger vehicles will need to find parking off-site as they will not fit in the underground garage.
Where do I unload?
Unloading is done from outside the building from 7:30am-9am.
We do not provide dollies - but they are super handy to have!
If you participate in a number of events, you might wish to buy a flatbed dolly.
