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

 

Updated 4/20/2026

 

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, ands, or buts.

 


 

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, Mary Kay, Buskins, Paparazzi, 31, Scentsy, Jamberry Nails, ColorStreet, Posh, Origami Owl, IT Works, and other similar product lines. 

However….

If you sell original artwork, sculpture, photography, music, old concert tees, vinyl, posters, vintage or retro clothing, toys, housewares, collectibles, antiques, taxidermy, odd curiosities, stickers, buttons, handmade crafts, action figures, tarot cards, books, vintage video games, comic books, skateboards, or anything in that same alternative/creative vibe, then you’ll fit right in at PRFM Lorain and probably love vending with us!

 

We carefully curate our vendor list to avoid having too many vendors with the same style or type of merchandise. Our goal is to offer a wide variety, not oversaturate the show. For example, if we already have a vendor selling Gothic jewelry and another applies with a similar style, we’ll place the second vendor on our waitlist. We want our vendors to showcase the best variety possible—and of course, to make great 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!
