Spring 2024  Vendor Application

Big news for 2024! We are going back to where it all started in Downtown Santa Ana!

The spring Golden Years Vintage Market will be Saturday, March 16th. From 11 AM to 5 PM in the 2nd Street Promenade in Santa Ana.

By filling out this application you may be eligible to participate as a vintage vendor at Golden Years!

Criteria: Vendors are selected based upon the quality of their items, curation of their shops, photos, & booth presentation. Vendors must be shops selling one or more of the following:
~ Women’s vintage clothing
~ Men’s vintage clothing
~ Kids vintage clothing
~ Vintage homewares
~ Vintage jewelry and accessories
~ Vintage vinyl records
Vendors must have a shop name or "brand." We are not accepting vintage furniture or antique shops, vintage reproduction, or modern resellers. Priority is given to Southern California based shops that have market and pop-up experience. We aim to curate a vendor lineup that provides a well-rounded shopping experience, where there is something for everyone!

Important! Please Read! -  Shops MUST have seller's permit in order to participate. You can register for a temporary seller's permit here: https://services.cdtfa.ca.gov/ereg/index.boe

Spaces: All approved vendors will have a 10’x10’ space which will be assigned closer to the event. Because of city laws, no sharing of booths is allowed. Vendors who violate this rule will not be able to participate in future events. Any vendor wishing to sell must go through the application process. All vendors will be outside for this show. You will need to bring your own 10’x10’ EZ Up tent and anything else you need to set up your booth. There won’t be any electricity available.

Costs: $130 before March 1st for a spot at the next Golden Years, due upon approval of application. $150 after March 1st for a spot at the next Golden Years, due upon approval of application.

Approval: We get a lot of submissions, and unfortunately do not have space for everyone. NEW FOR 2024, PLEASE READ! Accepted applicants will receive a ZELLE request for their vendor fee around 2 weeks prior to the event. If you have not heard from us, that most likely means you have not been selected for this event. If you are not selected, we recommend first coming to Golden Years to check it out, then applying again for the next one.

Payment: Your payment will be due once you have been approved. We will send you a ZELLE request that is due IMMEDIATELY upon receipt. Please Read! Pending requests will result in the forfeiture of your spot! Reminder, we get a lot of submissions of people eager and ready to pay for a spot. Please be respectful of other vendors and not hold up the process by not completing your request when received. Thank you!

Setup/Breakdown: Setup time is between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM. Vendors must be completely set up, with cars moved from loading zones by 10:30 AM. You may begin breaking down after 5 PM.

Load in/Load Out and Vendor Parking: Vendors can load in from loading zones and metered spots on Broadway between 1st and 3rd and Sycamore between 1st and 3rd. Cars must be moved immediately after loading. Note: Meters must be “fed” during loading. Best parking option is the garage off Broadway and 3rd for $5 full day.
