  • Vendor Application

    The Summer Sera vendor application is now open!

    We are looking for vendors selling summertime-vibe items, gifts, home goods, treats, packaged specialty foods, clothing, accessories, beauty care, kids' items, artisan craft items, and food and beverages to enjoy on-site or take home, and more. Our preference is 'made by the seller,' but we will evaluate curated resale items on a case-by-case basis.
