How to become a vendor at Punk Rock Flea Market Lorain County events

 

Updated 9/2/2024

 

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok! Social Media platforms are the BEST ways to keep up on the goings-on with our events and info.

Once vendor spots sell out, they’re sold out. No ifs and’s or buts. However, we do keep a waiting list just in case a vendor cancels or we somehow acquire extra space for vendors.

 


 

We do not accept all vendors. You must be a small, local indie business or artisan to be considered.

 

The spirit of PRFM Lorain is DIY and unique items. We DO NOT accept vendors who sell Direct Sales or MLM products such as LuLaRoe, Avon, Buskins, Paparazzi, 31, Scentsy, Jamberry Nails, ColorStreet, Posh, Origami Owl, IT Works, and other similar product lines. 

 

However, if you sell items such as original artwork, sculpture, photography, music, old concert t-shirts, vinyl/records, posters, vintage and retro clothing, toys, housewares, collectibles, antiques, taxidermy, strange and unique curiosities, stickers and buttons, handmade crafts, handcrafted items, action figures, tarot cards, books, vintage video games, comic books, skateboards, and other like-minded items, you’re probably going to love vending with us and be a perfect fit at PRFM Lorain!

 

We take the time to curate our vendor list to prevent too many of the same style vendors from setting up. We want a vast variety and do not want to over saturate with similar vendors – for example, if we have a vendor selling Gothic jewelry and another vendor applies who appears to have similar if not the same style of merchandise, we will hold the second vendor on our waitlist. We want our vendors to represent the best variety out there and of course, make good money!  

 

PRFM Lorain loves non-profit groups! If you are a non-profit group interested in setting up a table at PRFM Lorain, email us for a special non-profit rate!
