Application Process 

Those wishing to participate in the Spring Makers Market must complete an application form, provide valid insurance documentation and make the appropriate vendor payments before their application will be considered complete.

All applications and products are additionally reviewed before being accepted into the show in an effort to offer a well-balanced and family friendly product offering with vendor setups that work with the space and resources Broadway Square has to offer.

Thank you for your interest in Broadway Square’s inaugural Spring Makers Market.
As we get our Spring Maker' Market up and running this first year, we are accepting 20 artisan vendors. All booths/stations are required to have the creator of the goods present for the duration of the event. This event is all about the Makers and we want attendees to be able to meet the artists and hear about the creative process involved in the product. 

To wrap up World Book Night, Broadway Square is hosting a reading hour (#ReadingHour) immediately following this event when people are encouraged to bring, check out, purchase or download a book to read individually while gathered together around The Square.

We encourage event participants to grab their favorite food and beverage from the wide variety of Downtown Fargo restaurants and snack shops and return to The Square to participate in reading hour.

Participants have the chance to include their favorite book on the interactive Book Sharing Wall. 

Attendees are encouraged to bring a copy of their favorite book to swap in Broadway Square's Little Free Library. Leave a book, Take a book.

The event includes:

• Free World Book Night and Read in Color bookmarks
• A limited number of stylish bookbags 
• Books

From 7:00-8:00 pm, as part of a larger international hour of reading (#ReadingHour), Broadway Square will host a Fargo Reading Hour where people are encouraged to bring, purchase, checkout or download a book to read individually while together (but socially distanced) around The Square.
