Vendor Application
Whether you are a new or returning bazaar vendor, please take a moment to review the registration information, pricing, and policies prior to registering for a bazaar space.
Registration
All Bazaar participants must fill out a Bazaar Vendor Application Form and must be approved before registering. We require this so that 3HO can review your product/service offerings to see if they are in alignment with the 3HO lifestyle.
A Bazaar Vendor Event Pass can only be purchased if you have been approved. Once approved, instructions on how to register as a Bazaar Vendor will be given to you directly from 3HO.

There are three form types: General, Healer, and Food Vendor.
All General vendors must fill out a General Bazaar Vendor Form.

Vendor Spaces
How to choose the right size space for your offering:
- You may request to reserve up to two 6’ Spaces ($250 each), one 10×10 Space ($600) or one Massage Table Space ($400 and for Healers only).
- General (non-Healer-specific) spaces include at least one chair and one 6′ table.
- Please be aware that the space boundaries may or may not be marked but in either case your area will be defined by your table[s] and you will know what you reserved. Please respect the spaces of others by staying within your marked or defined area.
- If you have a massage table or a Thai massage pad, you must rent two spaces or a Draped Massage Table Space so as not to infringe on your neighbors’ spaces.
- If you have a massage chair, you and your work will fit into one space.
- If you are a healer and are also selling products, you are welcome to sell out of your healer space.
- Bring your own lighting, electrical cords, décor, display cases, massage tables/chairs, clothing racks, etc. Please consult the Bazaar Policies for more detailed information.

- We will not hold spaces so you will need to register as soon as possible after your application has been approved. Failure to do so within two weeks of being accepted might result in your space being given to another vendor.
