We aim to keep costs LOW for attendees and vendors to allow for a more equitable market space and event. With our sponsors' help, we can offer free general public admission to our daytime market and low-cost vendor fees.
The Big Gay Holiday Market is one of the LARGEST LGBTQ+ EVENTS IN MADISON. Unique benefits of collaborating with the market include:
Becoming a collaborator is an AUTOMATIC, guaranteed admission to being at our show. We reserve our market spaces for vendors and small businesses who go through the application process. Applying to be a vendor entails a juried process and is not a participation guarantee, whereas becoming a collaborator secures your spot.
We will be offering attendee bags with freebies to the first 500 attendees of our Night Market! These bags will include promotional materials from local businesses and our sponsors. Collaborators can add whatever they would like to the bags, guaranteeing eyes on their brand.
If you want to be included in ALL benefits, we need all payment and business information by November 18th! Any sponsorship purchases after November 18th may not receive printed promo or other time-sensitive benefits.
