Shuttle service will be provided to our vendors and attendees, from Wellesley High School to an offsite parking lot on the day of the event.
Food/Edibles Vendors:
If you are accepted, you will need to email us a copy of the license from the town or state that permits you to prepare/sell food. We use this to apply for a temporary food permit from the Wellesley Health Dept. on behalf of all edible/food vendors at Marketplace. Like most towns, Wellesley requires vendors at farmers markers and fairs to obtain a temporary permit. The health department allows our club to apply for a single permit on behalf of all food vendors and provide copies of the licenses. Feel free to contact marketplace@gmail.com if you have questions.
