Food & Flower Vendors
The Lake Forest Park Farmers Market is a food and agriculture focused market. Following guidelines set by the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market Advisory Board, we strive for a balance of products at our market. However, due to our focus on food and agriculture, we have extremely limited space for crafts vendors and do not host community businesses or nonprofits tents except as day sponsors.
If you are interested in participating, please contact us at [email protected].
The Lake Forest Park Farmers Market is a member of the Washington State Farmers Market Alliance. We carefully adhere to WSFMA rules.
Artists & Crafters
Crafts vendors are typically invited to participate at the farmers market for three special events per year. These include a Crafts Day in mid-July and two special harvest/holiday markets that are typically held in November and December.
Applications for the summer Crafts Day are typically posted in April, while applications for holiday markets are generally posted in September. Please check back for updates, or email us at [email protected] to be added to the interested vendor list.
The 2024 Holiday Crafts Fairs at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market will take place on Sunday, November 24th and Sunday, December 15th from 10 AM to 2 PM.
All items must be handmade in Washington by the individuals selling at the market. We seek a wide variety of media to represent a broad spectrum of creative endeavors and we look forward to seeing your submissions!

Vendor Insurance
All market vendors, including crafts vendors, are now required to carry Commercial Liability Insurance that does not exclude product liability. Read the Vendor Insurance Information Sheet below for additional information about your options.
All vendors participating in our event will be required to submit a current Certificate of Insurance (COI) that names us as an Additional Insured (or that has a blanket insured provision). This is a requirement dictated by our own market insurer. Please see below for information about how to list us on your insurance.
