We’re making a few updates to our seller space options this year to help improve event flow and make setup easier for everyone.

Please note: Seller space availability and layout options have changed this year. If you have participated in the past and typically set up in a certain area, please be sure to review the updated space options before purchasing your ticket.

Some areas that were previously available as standard single spaces may now be set up as larger two-space-deep areas.

Over 300 Yard-Sellers and 5,000+ buyers come together for the single biggest event of it’s kind in Maine. If you have items to sell and want to make money, this is the event for you. If you love shopping and buying, this is the event for you. Either way, this event is for you. We look forward to seeing everyone there! Note this is a CASH ONLY event. There will not be ATMs on premise. ***Click here to join the email list to get early access to seller spaces before they go on-sale to the general public!***
