INIT is a small, intentional gathering built around music, art, and real connection. The Vendor Village is a curated part of that — not a marketplace, but a space people wander through and spend time in. We keep it limited so vendors actually do well and the space feels right.
You're not just setting up a booth — you're part of what people remember about the weekend.
The vendors who do well here make things with care, have a strong aesthetic, and enjoy being part of a community — not just selling into one. INIT attracts a creative, thoughtful crowd.
It's probably not the right fit if your products are mass-produced, your setup leans commercial, or your approach is high-pressure.
Spots aren't first-come, first-served. We review every application for fit — how your work complements the overall mix and the other vendors. Total numbers are kept limited on purpose.
Not everyone who applies will be accepted. Returning vendors aren't guaranteed a spot.
Flat-rate booth fees — no commission, no percentage of sales.
| Vendor Type | Fee |
|---|---|
| Small / low price point | $150 |
| Standard | $150–$175 |
| Larger / higher volume | $175–$250 |
| Power (if approved) | +$50–$75 |
Each vendor receives 1 full festival pass + the option to purchase 1–2 additional at a discounted rate. Everyone on your team needs a pass.
