Lakeland Vendor Booths

Good afternoon Polk Moms!!! I am newer to the area, a new stay at home mom, and now just joined Paparzzi Acessories selling jewelry & acessories!!! Its a home party type business but more of an open house type setting. Everything is $5 each plus tax. I am looking for some information on places & ideas where I can purchase a vendor booth. Maybe some churches that have fall festivals, etc..... Any ideas or tips would help! Thank you very much!

I'm not sure if it is too late or not, but the Just Between Friends sale is in about a month, and they have vendor booths.

I did a little research online and was unable to find anything. If you hear any more information about it please let me know. I will try calling the Bartow Chamber. Thank you!

A PTA organization has one coming up at, I believe, the First Baptist Church in Bartow. Sometime in the next 3 months I believe. It is called Community something. I am sure a local PTA person would know, or the Bartow Chamber.

Sorry, but my memory is vague, but it was reasonable for the amount of people you can touch base with.

A lot of good school and college information also, from volunteer speakers.

There is a Farmer's Market downtown Lakeland. Unfortunately they closed for the month of August but will reopen Sept 1st. They are out there every Saturday and have a bunch of great homemade items. I have attached a link for you to look at and it has info in becoming a vendor.

My daughter's preschool is having a craft fair/market bazaar that would be perfect for you.
