Why decide to vend at the Eastern Wharf Market?
- The Savannah River backdrop is a perfect opportunity to rediscover downtown, plus adding a Sunday Farmer’s market adds to that local Savannah feel.
- We’re working on theming each weekend with a Luau weekend, Bollywood theme and a Latin theme weekend. Our events are more than just a market. They’re a destination.
- We’ll be heavily marketing this event through our video projects and social media advertising and with the Eastern Wharf.
Step One
NOTE: The City Of Savannah imposes stricter vendor rules than our other locations. Even if you have previously been approved by us, you must still comply with all City of Savannah business regulations.
Vendors that are approved are craft, candles, soaps, hand-made jewelry, farmers, cottage kitchen food makers, desserts, seasonings, pet treats & accessories, etc. If you are unsure of whether or not your business qualifies, feel free to fill out the application and we’ll review it.
If you have been approved to vend at another event and are unsure if you qualify for this event, please reach out before paying.
Please make sure that you have become a qualified vendor before signing up to one of the vendor spots below. You only need to be approved once for any Live Like Local events. (Vendor’s Wanted Link)
