For Vendors
Sell Where Chattanooga
Actually Shops
If you make something good — handmade, grown, baked, brewed, vintage, or original — there's a place for you across our 2026 markets and festivals. We produce 26+ events a year across Chattanooga and Southeast Tennessee, and we curate every one by hand.
No oversaturated categories. No mass-produced imports. No "everyone gets a spot." Real foot traffic, real organization, real local audience.
Why STMA
Three Reasons Vendors Apply
and Keep Coming Back
Reviewed Vendor Mix
Every event has a hand-curated lineup. No six candle vendors at the same market, no mass-produced imports in the booth next to yours. The mix is built deliberately so each category gets actual shoppers — not just a spot in a crowded field.
Real Foot Traffic
Our markets run at venues people already visit — the Chattanooga Choo Choo, Coolidge Park, The Commons in Collegedale, McDonald Farm, Mountain Arts Community Center, Ketner's Mill. Thousands of shoppers come through every season, not the same handful of friends-of-the-organizer.
Owner-Run, Not Outsourced
Robert Davis runs every event personally. When you have a question, a load-in conflict, or a last-minute issue, you talk to the person making the decisions — not a junior coordinator from a national event firm three states away.
Who We Look For
If You Make It, Grow It, Bake It,
or Bring It Back to Life
We book artists, makers, farmers, food vendors, bakers, boutiques, and vintage curators throughout Chattanooga and the region. The bar is straightforward: original work, well-made or well-grown or well-sourced, that fits the event's vision.
- Artists & makers — handmade goods, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, leather, woodwork, candles, soap, prints. Your work, not somebody else's.
- Farmers & growers — fresh produce, eggs, honey, dairy, mushrooms, microgreens, plants, cut flowers.
- Food & beverage — baked goods, jams, sauces, coffee, tea, kombucha, hot food, food trucks (TN permits required for prepared food).
- Vintage, antique, and resale — curated, sourced, restored. Not bulk-import flips.

From Our Vendors
What Vendors Say After a Season With Us
Unedited feedback from artists, makers, farmers, and food vendors in our markets.
We have been doing markets with Shop the Market At for years. We are always treated very well. The markets are well advertised on TV, online, with billboards, and signage. Thank you, Rob and Russell, for working hard to help give each vendor a fair shot at sales. The rest is up to the vendors and their craft.
— Penny Hansen Atwood
Shop the Market At has treated me so well since becoming a vendor with them in October. They worked with me, accommodated me, and even credited me when life got crazy. This past weekend, the wind was more than I expected, and they helped us with extra weights to hold my shelves down. They remembered my name when I had only met them once, came and checked on us every so often, and even let vendors leave without penalizing them when the weather got colder. Most event coordinators force their vendors to stay; however, Shop the Market At cares about vendors more than the money. If you had a bad experience, message them first before bashing them. They are wonderful to work with.

I have been with these event planners from the beginning, and they are awesome! Their events are well organized, they advertise well, and they always check on their vendors. I cannot recommend them enough ❤️
