What is the Application Process?
If you are on the vendor email list - you will receive an email when we are accepting applications for the next market.
If you are accepted, we will send you an email with payment instructions.
Acceptances are typically sent 7 - 10 days after applications close.
Please note - only participating vendors will be notified.
I joined the vendor email list but I didn’t receive an email when the applications opened up?
We use Mailchimp for our emails, so if you are on the list, then you definitely did receive a notification.
Check your Junk, Promotions or Trash folders.
The best way to get the email delivered directly into your inbox is to add this email - Hello@613flea.ca to your contact list.
Can I participate in other events at Lansdowne Park and still become a vendor at 613flea?
We give preference to vendors who are not participating in other events at Lansdowne Park within 30 days of a 613flea market.
If the event falls within 30 days BEFORE or AFTER a 613flea, you will be ineligible to participate in 613flea events at Lansdowne Park during that time period.
Why have I not been accepted?
There may be several reasons...
1. If you participate in other events/markets at Lansdowne Park, your product becomes less of an attraction to draw customers to 613flea.
2. 613flea gives priority to vendors who have an 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.
3. We try to have a wide variety of products (i.e. We do not want 10 vendors selling chocolate covered crickets).
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 “direct sales” vendors.
6. We don’t accept wholesale products.
7. That about covers it! Just one more thing. We do get many applications, so please don’t reach out to us and ask why you may not have been accepted.
What can I sell?
Crafts - locally made by you and sold 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 Square or Shopify card reader - 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 $2.00 each 30 minutes ($4.00 hour) with a $20 daily maximum - EXCEPT on 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. There is no unloading schedule.
What about dollies?
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.
