Day of Event

Vendor application and vending fees are non-refundable.

Vendors are required to be present for the entirety of the event, as specified in the market's informational materials detailed on this page, the application page, and the acceptance email.

Upholding this requirement is a condition of participation in the market and is necessary for the professional execution of any event.

$25 Market Events

$25 Markets are a style of market we provide that accommodates 2 to 5 vendors. They are locations for vendors to set up shop for the brewery guests. Miami Friendors does not guarantee that the brewery will have guests the day of the market.

Vendors understand that it is their full responsibility to research the venue for it's location and surrounding neighborhood(s) as all venues have different atmospheres, different style of guests, and different surroundings.

This option is provided by Miami Friendors as a way to test various locations to find a venue that suits the vendor.

The vendor understands that Miami Friendors will not place focus on promoting these events as they are hosted by the brewery itself. The brewery allows vendors to showcase their work at a low cost so that they can meet new clientele. It is the sole responsibility of the vendor to promote the event and/or network with the guests of the brewery and NOT the responsibility of Miami Friendors.
