Downtown Eau Claire’s Wisconsin Makers Market (106 E Grand Ave.), a shop hosting more than 100 state artisans’ art and products, is hosting its annual spring market on April 13 – and there are booths just for young entrepreneurs up for grabs!

The market, called the Spring Soirée, will be held at the Eau Claire Event District’s High Country building (5633 20th Ave., Eau Claire) on April 13 from 10am-3pm. Among the array of vendors, organizer Chelsea Higley has set aside 10 spots just for young entrepreneurs looking for a chance to get in front of the public.

Young entrepreneurs must be between the ages of 5 and 18, and have an adult in attendance at the market with them. Vendors will be provided one table booth space (8-feet-by-5-feet) for $15, and one 6-foot-by-2-foot table and two chairs will be provided. A double booth space can be purchased.

The event is specifically for handmade makers, artists, refurbished items, food vendors, and others of the sort, but no MLM or direct sales are allowed.

Apply online today for a chance to be a vendor at the Spring Soirée Vendor Market.


A separate vendor application is also available online for non-young entrepreneurs. Keep up with Wisconsin Makers Market online.
