NFP/CG will be responsible to set up before 2:10, bring their own tent/tables/chairs etc. Break down is at 6PM - please make sure that your booth is properly staffed for the entire market.
 
These booths are for informational purposes only. Our market is  a place for community to come together and learn about what Westborough has to offer. Bringing in our community groups is the best way to bring everyone together and grow! 
 
No sales or donation requests will be allowed at the booths. If you are planning to sell anything please register as a vendor. All vendor regulations and rules will then apply. 
 
 
No hawking or aggressive marketing will be tolerated. 
 

 

This is our third year at the Bay State Commons - Town Greene - Town Commons... So many names for the same place! 

Last season we had about 250 vendors apply! We love our Vendors as they are the reason we are here.  Our vendors are encouraged to feel at home at the market.  We want everyone to have a great time!
The market committee cannot help you grow if you tell us everything is fine. We have to know the good the bad and the UGLY in order to make the market and you successful. 

Pre Season Zoom Calls

 

Each season we put together 3 or 4 zoom dates to meet before the beginning of the season.  Here you get a chance to ask questions, give feedback, meet other vendors and find out what is in store for the season! 

This is a GREAT opportunity to have the people who will be staffing the booths join so they can learn about the procedures, ask questions and get to know the other vendors. 

Some of our vendors from last year will not be returning.  Not because they did not like the market, or because they didn't do well.  Quite the opposite! We have a few vendors who are not returning mainly because they are so busy with their retail and wholesale business they no longer have the bandwidth for a market.  This is what we LOVE TO HEAR! They have made it to a fabulous place in business, and we wish them all well! 

 

Social Media is vital to growing your following at the market.  Please make sure you are following the market on Facebook and Instagram.  With almost 10k followers on both platforms, we have a wide reach and love to repost vendors posts and tag you.  PLEASE make sure your social links are CORRECT in the portal. 

Our Market Manager is always available to help!

If you are a new vendor to Westborough you should know that our market manager, Kristin Bradley, is here to assist with anything. Have a quick question, shoot her a text. Need some guidance with booth layouts? She is your person! Your success is her success
