Vendor Guidelines

The Georgetown Flea Market is an antiques and collectibles market. We also accept artisans who create their own products. Although we do have a small percentage of dealers who sell new merchandise, we are not accepting any additional dealers who sell new merchandise.

New vendors

If you have questions, please email manager@georgetownfleamarket.com. Our managers, Butch Finch and Bill Milstead, will be happy to answer any questions. Each time you email, please include your name, address, phone number, and specify your type of merchandise. Also specify whether you wish to set up on Saturday or Sunday.

All vendors

If you are a regular vendor, please be sure we have your data (name, address, email, phone number) on file. If your phone, address, or email changes, please update us. In the event of a special event or new show, only vendors with applications on file will be considered.

Spaces and rates:

Table spaces: $20 to $35 per day, depending on size and day of the week
Drive-in spaces: $30 to $60 per day depending on the amount of space you require.
Spaces are assigned to permanent dealers. Market mangers may not know space availability in advance.
Rent is due upon request, no exceptions. Vendors may pay either by cash or check written to "Arlington Flea Market".

Setting up

Flea market hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Vendors are required to stay the entire day.
Vendors must bring their own tables and tents. All tents must be secure. Vendors are responsible for any damage caused by tents.
Aisles must be kept open so booths are accessible to customers.

All permanent vendors are required to be in their spaces between 7:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. on Saturday and 7:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. on Sunday.
Permanent vendors are allowed to miss one weekend a month for personal or business reasons (excepting inclement weather conditions).

Non-permanent vendors

It is advisable to email the manager a few days beforehand at manager@georgetownfleamarket.com.

Closing and clean up:

Vendors are required to be packed and spaces vacated between 3 and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and between 4 and 5 p.m. on Sundays, unless the market manager decides to close the market earlier.
Vendors must take all trash with them. Local trash receptacles are for the general public only. Please leave your space clean upon departure.
