All information below also applies to Mini Mod Shop, but we are offering a reduced booth fee of $20. Please submit an application during the regular application period. Teen booths do sell out!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Mod Shop is looking for DIY crafters with original items to sell. Cottage food vendors and curated vintage collections are also welcome. Items should be made by hand and not manufactured elsewhere. Products should be unique and distinct from other vendors. Our space is limited and we get many more applications than we can accept. We do sell out each year and approve vendors who fit the Mod Shop vision and contribute to an interesting and diverse shopping experience.
PERMITS
Food vendors must have a cottage food license through Stanislaus County. Please email a copy of your license to us when you apply. Regular craft vendors do not have to have a business license, Mod Shop will purchase a one day sellers permit on your behalf if you do not have a City of Modesto Business License. Please note, your information will be given to the City of Modesto for this purpose.
ATMOSPHERE
Mod Shop is a busy, loud, fun affair. We attract a wide range of shoppers looking for modern, unique items made by local artists
and crafters. Musicians play along the sidewalks, and DJs play at some of the locations. Please look through the gallery of photos
and determine if Mod Shop is the right venue for your business.
