Through an application process, we select and support artisan small businesses that produce local, handcrafted, vintage, fair trade, and/or give-back initiative products. We are passionate about providing a platform for makers, curators and artisans from right in our local communities all across Texas! Come out and find some of the most unique items while supporting small businesses from your community.

While we do have recurring artisans in our Boho community, each Boho brings unique and ever-changing artisans. We of course recommend following your favorites on social media to keep up with them, but we are always happy to help you find them, too! If you discovered a vendor at a market and need help locating their website/social media, feel free to email us with a description and we’ll do our best to assist!

You can bring your WHOLE family to The Boho Market. Quite a few of our venues are even dog-friendly, so make sure to check our social media channels for more info about each one!

Most of our venue partners have restaurants at which you can purchase food and alcohol. In addition, at most of our markets you might find baked goods and more for you to take home with you!

Vendor FAQs
-
Once a Market is open for applications on the portal vendors may apply. The date you will be notified of application status will always be visible on the application page and will fall roughly 60 days prior to the Market (unless otherwise noted on the application page).
For any approved vendor, we will send an acceptance notice and an invoice for the booth fee.
-
We approve a wide variety of locally made, handcrafted, ethically-sourced and vintage items. While we support all types of small businesses, we do not allow MLM, direct sales, non-product-based businesses, or items that are drop-shipped from overseas. We also accept limited numbers of categories of goods, so if you apply after we have already approved several of your same category we would not approve.
If you have any questions about whether or not your product will make sense at one of our events, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
-
Each of our venue partners has different food policies. Make sure to check each application before you apply. All food and beverage items must arrive at events prepackaged; we do not allow any products to be prepared on-site or made-to-order.
PLEASE NOTE: Each municipality sets its own regulations and requirements for food makers. It is the sole responsibility of each food vendor to ensure you are operating in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations and requirements, including but not limited to permits, licensing, and standards.
If you are a food truck, email us to learn more.

We totally understand that life happens! Cancellations more than 30 days prior to the event will receive 50% of their booth fee back. Any cancellation within 30 days of the event will forfeit full payment.
In the event the Market is added to the portal within the 30 day period, cancellations more than 15 days prior to the event will receive 50% of their booth fee back. In this situation, any cancellation within 15 days of the event will forfeit full payment.
If Boho has to reschedule a Market, you’ll receive full credit toward the rescheduled event date. If you cannot make the new date you will receive a credit for 50% of your booth fee and can apply that credit to any other Market that happens in the 12 months following the original Market date. You will be responsible for any difference between the credit and the new Market’s fees. If you choose not to apply that credit within those next 12 months, you’ll forfeit that payment.
-
We partner with a variety of locations, both indoor and outdoor. Either way, we are a rain-or-shine event.
-
You will need to provide your own 10x10 tent, tables, minimum of four 25-pound weights and anything you need for your booth setup. We would advise sunscreen and water, too! If the event goes into the evening we recommend bringing battery-operated lights. If you need electricity for any reason we recommend bringing a battery-operated generator. If you’d like any additional guidance, please email us with any questions you may have.
-
Of course, we love collaboration! All we ask is that anyone who is sharing applies separately with information about the product, and simply note that you are wanting to share with so-and-so. This helps ensure we don’t put similar products too close together!
-
Electricity is never provided. Please come up fully prepared to run your small business. Most of our vendors use their phones to process transactions and they use portable battery chargers as back up. If the event goes into the evening we recommend bringing battery-operated lights. If you need electricity for any reason we recommend bringing a battery-operated generator as gas-powered generators, tools, fans, or heaters are not permitted.
-
Vendor setup begins two hours prior to any event. All events have pre-defined end times and breakdown begins at the official conclusion of the event.
