BIG Market Days are bold
NEW LOWER PRICES FOR 2026!
Vendor fees are based on a "daily price" model - the more dates you attend, the less you pay per date. As you can see in the image, your days 1-4 cost $35 each, your days 5-8 cost $15 each, and so on.
For example, a Market at Weirs vendor who attends 10 total market dates throughout the season will pay $35 per day for their days 1-4, $15 per day for days 5-8, and $10 per day for days 9 and 10, with a total of $220 for the season, and will pay an average of $22 per market date. Adding an 11th day mid-season would cost $10 extra. Generally, the season total and average price per market are the amounts you'll be most interested in.

Avoiding Scams
We accept payments via cash or check paid in person, or checks sent to 9 Berry Rd. in Belmont, NH. Our online invoices accept ACH bank transfer using Wave. We will only send and receive emails from @bamm-nh.org accounts. Please contact us directly with any questions and report any suspicious activity immediately.
Insurance
Vendors must maintain a commercial general liability policy that does not exclude products - completed operations coverage. Policy limit should be a minimum of 1 million per occurrence with a 2 million aggregate limit. Each vendor policy needs to list the market as an additional insured or contain a blanket additional insured endorsement and provide the market with a certificate of insurance confirming coverage. See Insurance.
Minimum Dates
Crafters must attend at least 4 dates between all BAMM market locations.
Food vendors must attend at least 4 days per market location, or at least 6 days total between all locations. Customers expect consistency at markets, and attending frequently is the best thing you can do for your sales!
Pricing & Payments
All pricing is per market location. No discounts are available for attending multiple locations.
A second, adjacent booth can be added at 50% of the normal price.
The minimum fee of $140 per market location is due at the time of application. If you are not accepted to the market(s), this will be returned to you in full. Once accepted, this payment will be non-refundable and will be credited towards your seasonal balance.
When accepted, at least the first half of your remaining balance must be paid to confirm your acceptance. This payment is non-refundable.
Any remaining balance is due before the market season begins. This payment is non-refundable.
Additional, pre-approved dates added during the season must be paid for at least 1 week prior to the added dates, and are not refundable.
Changes
Dates may be added or changed during the season at least 10 days in advance. All changes must be requested and confirmed by email. If a confirmation is not received, the request has not been approved.
A one-time transfer of remaining dates can be made to another market location at no additional cost.
A full-time vendor who misses a day can take a make-up day at a different location if approved.
A part-time vendor can take make-up days at the same market location if approved.
Selection
Vendors with dates distributed throughout the season will have a higher priority than those that only choose peak months.
Vendors attending less than full time but select BIG Market Days will have a higher priority for selection than those that don't.
Vendors with up-to-date websites and social media accounts will have a higher priority than those that don't.
Other criteria can and will be used when reviewing applications.
Perks
Full-time vendors are not necessarily exclusive but will receive the most effort to manage competition and will have the highest priority in the selection process.
Full-time vendors are able to select their booth location for the season.
