SnowpackTaproom & Pizzeria

The Snowpack Cottage Market.

Sunday mornings, 8am–noon — the whole place turns into a makers market: local artists, cottage kitchens, and craftspeople set up on our patios and around the building while the kitchen pours coffee and the mountain does its thing. Come for a pastry, leave with someone's best work.

Who we're looking for

Made by hand. Sold by the person who made it.

We want you

Artists

Original art, prints, photography, jewelry — work you made with your own hands and can't wait to talk about.

We want you

Cottage kitchens

Colorado Cottage Foods producers — baked goods, jams, salsas, honey, candies, and the rest of the made-in-a-home-kitchen universe.

We want you

Makers

Handmade goods of every kind — candles, soap, woodwork, ceramics, fiber arts, leather. If you make it, we want it on a table.

One honest ground rule: every booth sells something its maker created. No informational booths, no service sign-ups, no franchises, no MLMs — this market is for artists, cottage kitchens, and people making goods. If that's you, we'd love to have you.

The details

What vending looks like.

The dates & hours

Sunday mornings — with the market open to shoppers 8am–noon. Booths wrap the building and fill the patios at Snowpack Taproom & Pizzeria. Vend a single date or every one that's left; pick your days right on the form below.

The fee & refunds

$40 per market day, paid by card at a secure Square checkout right after you apply. You keep everything you sell — no commissions, no cut. If we cancel a day for weather, that day is fully refunded. Vendor no-shows are not refunded.

Insurance

Every vendor uploads a certificate of insurance naming Snowpack Taproom LLC as additionally insured. Most insurers issue one in minutes at no charge — ask yours for an "additional insured certificate."

Your setup

Load-in opens at 7am so you're ready before doors; the market runs 8am–noon, and everyone is torn down and cleared by 1pm. Bring your own table and display; tents are welcome with weights (it's the mountains — it gets breezy). There's no power at vendor spaces (and no generators), so bring battery power if you need it. Tell us about space needs in the form and we'll do our best.

Tell us what you make, pick your market days, attach your insurance certificate, and pay at checkout ($40 per day). A real human reviews every application — you'll hear from us by email either way.
