Policies

Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor at Culver Lake Flea Market. CLFM features vendors of antiques, vintage clothing, handmade items, and more. We are always looking for great items to keep our market fresh.

Outdoor vendor spaces are 10’ x 10’, spaced 6’ apart. One 3’ x 8’ table is given. Any other tables must be brought in by the vendor and fit in the assigned spot. It is suggested that vendors bring in a shade cover and chair. Spaces to accommodate trailers are limited. Vendor insurance is suggested.

The following policies are intended to benefit each and every vendor at Culver Lake Flea Market. Failure to comply with these vendor expectations may mean expulsion from the Market. We expect your cooperation and appreciate your interest and participation in helping to steadily improve CLFM.
