Bloem Market is a handmade event that has been created and is hosted by Sun River Gardens. We invite local artisans + crafters to showcase and sell their beautiful handmade goods. All goods must be handmade or created by you in order to be sold at our market.

This is a juried market. What does that mean to you? We like to keep it fresh + new! Not all vendors who apply to our market will be accepted. While looking through the applications we will be choosing a few makers from each category of items. Example: If you sell hair bows, we will only choose 1 or possibly 2 makers to sell bows at the event.

Market Date & Time:

February 7th-8th, 2025 (Friday + Saturday) from 10AM-6PM each day

Market Location:

Sun River Gardens – 1248 N. State Street Orem, UT 84057

The space provided to you gives you the space of a standard folding table (6’x3’). You are responsible for providing everything you’ll need. That includes display wares such as tables, mirrors, lighting, extension cords, décor, etc. We suggest taking advantage of vertical space to get the most out of your booth space. If you need power, or have any other special requests such as needing to be near another vendor, please specify after you have received notification of acceptance. As always, we will do our best to accommodate. All requests are on a first come, first serve basis. Requests must be submitted no later than one week prior to the date of event, January 31st, 2025.

Send all requests to: tanya@sunrivergardens.com

CENTRAL CHECK-OUT

Central check-out is provided at the show. This means that you do not need to be stationed at your booth during the event. If you wish to attend the show and man your booth at any time, please feel free to do so. We will need to be notified of your decision prior to the event so that we may plan for space accordingly.

We accept cash and all major credit card payments.

Sun River Gardens does not take a percentage of vendor sales for offering this amenity.

STOCKING

If you are not staying at your booth during the event, Sun River Gardens will take care of keeping your booth neat and tidy during the market. But if your booth needs to be re-stocked at anytime, that will be the responsibility of you, the vendor.

If we notice you are running low or on certain goods or hear customers requesting more of an item, we will do our best to notify you.

LABELING/VENDOR ID’S

Vendor ID’s + Price of Good must be included on all goods sold at the market. (ie. AA01 $5)

If you regularly attend shows that require you to have a Vendor ID, please feel free to request that Vendor ID. All vendor ID’s are given on a first come, first serve basis. We will do our best to accommodate your request. We will ask that you submit your ID following acceptance to the show. If you do not have an ID, we will issue you one prior to the show, just let us know!

LABELING: Please make sure the labels/tags are large enough to be seen quickly at our registers, and that they are firmly attached to your item. If both price and vendor ID are not attached to the item or not legible, credit for the sale may be withheld.

ONE-WORD DESCRIPTIONS – Optional (but highly recommended!)

IF you would like a more accurate idea of what sold at the market, then take advantage of adding a one-word description to your product labels. Upon doing so, we will need this list of those one-word descriptions to add to our Bloem Market registers. This list needs to be provided to us 1 week prior to the show. Deadline for one-word lists is January 31st, 2025. Please have every single item clearly marked with a price, a one-word description of your sellable goods, and your vendor ID. (ie. AA01 Soap $5)

When sending in the photo, give a brief description of the item for us to use.

GIVEAWAYS are done on both Sun River Gardens and Bloem Markets Instagram feeds (@sunrivergardens + @bloemmarketgoods).
