Hutto market days FAQs
(Monthly Markets)
How do I become a vendor?
All Urban Bloom Markets (UBM) Monthly Markets are 100% juried.
Once approved, vendors are not required to re-jury for future monthly events unless their product line changes. Jewelry vendors and direct sales vendors are reviewed monthly.
Approved vendors will receive an approval email with instructions to proceed. Vendors must review all rules, regulations, and terms prior to completing registration.
Booth space is not confirmed until payment is received and an approval email has been sent.
How do I pay for my booth?
All booth fees are paid online at the time of registration.
Registration does not guarantee placement. Booth space is confirmed only after payment has been received and an approval email has been issued.
Are certain product categories limited?

Approximately 10% of vendor spaces are allocated to jewelry. Placement may rotate based on volume and style to ensure variety.
