Apply to Vend — Holy City Market | Become a Vendor in San Antonio

Why sell here

The crowd every maker wants.

Foot traffic and fit, the two things vendors choose a market for. We have both.

1,000+ guests at market one

Our first market drew over 1,000 people in one afternoon. Free admission means real, genuine family turnout — not curiosity traffic.

Our back-to-school market caps at 150 vendors. The application window is one week. Apply early or miss it.

Every market gets announced to our email list and social channels before doors open. Every accepted vendor gets featured in the run-up to market day.

No jury, no fee to apply

Vendor policies.

A few things to know before you apply. These keep the day smooth for everyone.

No refunds

This is a no-refund event. Booth fees are non-refundable for any reason, including weather. We set up rain or shine.

No electricity provided

This is an outdoor market and we don't provide power. If you need electricity, plan to bring your own quiet generator.

Venue access

The CBC West campus is closed outside market hours. Access is limited to approved vendors and staff during setup and teardown.

Food & beverage permits

Selling food or drinks? You'll need a permit. If you already hold a 2-year San Antonio food permit, just show it. If not, tell us on your application and we'll get you a single-event permit for $60. Let us know too if you'll use open flame, propane, or a generator. Full details below.

Cancellations & no-shows

Please tell us as soon as you can if you can't make it, so we can fill the gap. We have a three-strike rule: three last-minute cancellations (within 48 hours of the event) or no-shows in any 12-month period will result in your application being declined for future Holy City Market events for one year. A genuine emergency is always the exception — just reach out. No refunds or credits.

Weather

We set up rain or shine and don't cancel the market for rain. You're welcome to join us, but booth fees are non-refundable, including for weather.

No early breakdown

Please don't pack up until the market is over. Early teardown isn't allowed unless there's a real emergency. It keeps the day full and good for everyone.

Help promote the market

When you share the market, customers know where to find you and the whole event wins. Please share our Instagram and Facebook event invites with your people before market day.

How we'll reach you

Once you're accepted, our main way to reach you is an Instagram vendor group chat we open about two weeks before the event. We don't do group texts. We'll also send a few emails, so make sure you can be reached on Instagram.

Food vendors

Selling food? Here's the permit part.

San Antonio requires a food permit to sell food at an event. Here's what you need to know, in plain English.

Do you need one?

Yes, if you sell food or drinks that must be kept hot or cold (cooked or prepared food, fresh drinks). You may not need one if you only sell sealed, shelf-stable packaged items.

Already have a permit?

If you hold a current 2-year San Antonio food permit, you're set. Just show it on your application. No extra charge from us.

Need one? We've got you.

No permit? Pick "Food / drink booth, I need a permit" on your application. We'll get you a single-event permit for $60, added to your booth price. That covers the city permit and the paperwork, so you can just show up and sell.

The 14-day rule (read this)

If you need a permit, you have until 14 days before the market to get your own. Miss that window and our team gets it for you. Either way, if you need a permit and it isn't sorted, you can't set up the day of the market. No exceptions, so don't wait.

Day-of basics the city expects

Keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Have a handwashing setup. Keep your space clean and your food covered. A sanitarian may stop by to check.

Using fire or power?

Tell us in advance if you'll cook with open flame or propane, or run a generator, so we can place you safely.
