Please note: Our processes have changed for the 2025 season. Please read all information thoroughly to ensure you understand and follow the new guidelines, as they must be adhered to for a successful application and participation.

You are submitting an application for the Marketplace area of the 2025 Good in the Hood Festival. Here is what to expect: 

• Upon receipt of your application, we will review all details to ensure alignment with our values and confirm there are no duplicate offerings or vendor types.
• Once approved, you will receive an invoice for the associated fees. Please note that payment must be completed within 15 days to secure your spot; otherwise, it may be released.

The 2025 Good in the Hood Festival will be held at the Lillis Albina Park adjacent to the Harriet Tubman school on the corner of Flint and Russell on June 28-29, 2025.

In order to be approved for the Marketplace you must adhere to these requirements: 

A) You must be selling a physical item. If you are distributing information about a community organization or service, you must apply for the Information Village. 

B) You acknowledge that you are fully responsible for the loading and unloading of your products, table coverings, booth decor, and any other materials. You will have a limited time window to complete this process before being asked to re-park, so we strongly encourage you to bring assistance.

• Timing for setup will be provided in future communication for approved applications.

C) You acknowledge that while we provide on-site 24-hour security throughout the event, Good in the Hood is not liable for any damage, loss, or theft of materials - including any items left overnight.

D) By attending the Good in the Hood Festival, you consent to photography, audio recording, and video recording that may be used for promotional purposes in print, online, and on social media. If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, please notify the photographer or a festival staff member.

Fee Structure

The fees cover your choice of either a 5x10 or 10x10 booth space for both Saturday and Sunday (depending on availability).

• Each vendor will be provided with a six-foot table and two chairs.
• Table coverings, materials, and other setup items are the vendor's responsibility.
• Due to the high demand and costs associated with booth space, canopies, chairs, and tables, we are unable to offer discounted rates for vendors participating for only one day.
• Additionally, we are unable to accommodate special requests for booth locations or additional equipment.

Next Steps: 

• Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the department chair for approval.
• Upon approval, an invoice will be sent to you. You will have 14 days from receipt of the invoice to complete your payment to secure your spot.
• Regardless of the invoice date, all payments must be received by June 1, 2025, or your spot will be automatically released.
