Concession Space

If you are interested in being a vendor at the 2019 Markham Fair, use the contact form, send us an email or send a letter by mail or fax providing the following information:

• Company Name
• Your Name
• Company Phone Number and/or Cell Phone Number
• Email Address
• Products or services you wish to sell or promote
• Other Shows where you have exhibited
• Indoor or Outdoor Space Preference

Markham Fair’s policy is to offer the previous year’s vendors first option to their space. The allocations for last year’s vendors will not be complete until late July.  Requests for space from new vendors will be reviewed in July and if suitable space becomes available, you will receive an application via email.

If you receive a Concession Space Application/License, the signed application and payment in full, must be received by Markham Fair before the application is approved.  Once your application is approved it becomes a License and a letter or email is sent to confirm your space.  Once your application is approved or payment is processed, a $100 plus HST, non refundable administration fee will apply, should you decide to cancel for any reason.  If Markham Fair does not approve your application, payment in full will be returned or refunded.

We look forward to hearing from you regarding concession space and thank you for your interest in Markham Fair.
