The Oak Bay Village Night Market will start accepting applications from new vendors on March 14
Market Regulations
The Market is a "make it, bake it, grow it" market which means items for sale must be made, baked or grown by the seller.
Items such as cards, clothing items, etc. must be hand printed or hands screened by the seller. Items outsourced for manufacture are not eligible for the market.
Due to the large number of jewellery applications, vendors in a jewellery space may only sell jewellery. Jewellery may not be included in the product mix of non-jewellery vendors.
We are no longer able to offer space for homemade food items. Food must be prepared in a commercial kitchen and/or have an approved vendor decal from Island Health to qualify.
We do not offer space for single markets - applications are for the full season only. No exceptions.
The following will not be accepted:
- Resellers, local distributors of major brands or multi-level marketing companies
- Raffles
- Political parties
- Services such as massage, tarot readings
- Books (with the exception of handmade/hand bound journals)
- 3D printed items
