Not at all 🤎

La Bodega was created by a Latina founder, so naturally our culture, music, food, language, and community roots influence the vibe of many of our events. But La Bodega is for everyone.

Our goal has always been to create a welcoming space where people from all backgrounds can shop small, connect, celebrate creativity, and feel like they belong.

Whether you’re Latino, Black, Asian, White, queer, alternative, artsy, nerdy, introverted, outgoing, un poquito de todo, you are welcome here ✨

We’re community first always.

Vendor fees vary depending on the event, location, booth size, and vendor category. Pricing will always be listed clearly on the application form before applying.

Yes. We ask all vendors to maintain a clean, welcoming, and professional booth setup. Vendors must follow all venue rules, city regulations, and Florida health/safety requirements if selling food or beverages.

We also have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, aggressive behavior, or excessive drama. La Bodega is a community space first 🤎

We welcome a mix of small businesses, artists, makers, bakers, vintage sellers, food vendors, clothing brands, creators, and community-based businesses.

We love unique concepts, creative setups, handmade items, cultural goods, and vendors who bring good energy to the space.

No, but we highly recommend having at least an active Instagram or Facebook page so we can view your products, branding, and overall business presence.

Accepted vendors will receive an email with payment instructions, event details, setup information, and important reminders. You will also be added to a private Instagram group chat for that specific market.

Please make sure to check your spam/junk folder just in case.

Absolutely. Not being accepted for one event does not mean you cannot participate in future events. Some events have limited space or require a specific vendor mix/theme.

Most vendors should bring:

• Tent (if outdoors)

• Tent weights

• Tables/chairs

• Display setup

• Extension cords (if approved for power)

• Lighting (for night events)

• Payment methods

• Signage/business cards

• Water/snacks

• Positive vibes 😌

Specific setup instructions will always be emailed before the event.

Setup times vary by event and venue. Vendors typically receive setup/load-in instructions about 1-2 days before the event.

We strongly encourage arriving on time to avoid delays and congestion.

YES. Tent weights are required at all outdoor events for safety reasons. Florida weather and wind can change quickly.

Vendors without proper weights may be asked to take down their tent.

Most events continue rain or shine unless weather conditions become unsafe.

If severe weather causes cancellation, vendors will be notified as soon as possible regarding rescheduling or credit policies.

Unless specifically stated on the application, vendors are responsible for bringing their own setup equipment.

Some venues have limited electricity access. If power is needed, please let us know ahead of time on your application.

Shared booths are only allowed with prior approval. Both businesses must be listed on the application and fit within the event theme and space limitations.

Unauthorized sharing may result in removal from the event.

There will be a shared booth fee of $25.

Yes. Food vendors are responsible for obtaining all required Florida licenses, permits, and certifications needed to operate legally.

Parking varies by venue. Some locations offer free parking, while others may have street parking or paid lots nearby.

Parking details will always be included in the vendor information email before the event.

Vendor fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.

Because we use vendor payments to secure venues, staffing, and event expenses, cancellations impact the entire event.

Yes! We do our best to feature vendors through social media posts, stories, flyers, and event promotions. However, we also encourage vendors to actively promote the event to help create the best turnout possible for everyone.

You can contact us through our website contact form, Instagram DMs, or email. We’ll do our best to respond as quickly as possible 💌
