Market vendor registration opens March 3, 2025

The annual Bath Canada Day celebration is the most popular event of the year, attracting thousands of visitors to the beautiful village of Bath. The Vendor’s Market has been a long-standing feature of the big day and is a great opportunity for artisans, producers, crafters, and businesses to gain exposure and sell their wares. 

Please be advised that vendor spacing is limited. Vendors will be accepted on a first come, first-serve basis pending product duplication. We will do our best to offer a balanced mix of products.

  Application Form

Market Guidelines

 Vendor booth

Each vendor booth will be 12 feet by 12 feet. Vendors may purchase multiple sites if needed. Vendors are responsible for supplying their own tables, chairs, and shade tents. Please note that shade tents must be "weighted" down and not pegged in any way. Use of pegs is not allowed on park grounds.

 Confirmation of site location

A few weeks prior to the event, the Vendor Coordinator will email vendors their site allocations and provide a site map.

 Waste removal

 Vendors are responsible for removing their waste from the site.

 Portable generators

Vendors may provide their own portable generators when required. Generators must be quiet and  intended for portable use. Fuel for the generator must be stored in containers intended for fuel and must be kept away from the generator. Vendors planning to use a portable generator must indicate this on their application form. If notice is not provided ahead of time, use of a portable generator may be denied at the event.  Vendors using a portable generator must also have the appropriate type of fire extinguisher.

 Dogs and other pets

 Vendors should not bring dogs or other pets to the market. Registered service animals are exceptions.

 Product duplication

Event organizers will try to keep a balanced mix of vendors. Vendors should contact the Vendor Coordinator before sending in an application if there are any concerns about duplication.

 Loading/unloading and vendor parking

Vendors may drive to their site to unload when practical. If the ground is too soft to accommodate vehicles, vendors must unload and reload from the street.
Dedicated vendor parking will be provided. Vendors parking their vehicles in this area do so at their own risk. After unloading, vehicles must be moved to the dedicated vendor parking area and are not to return until the market closes at 4:30 p.m.

 Cancellations and refunds

Cancellations received before May 31 will be refunded in full, less an administration fee. Cancellations after May 31 will not be refunded. All cancellations must be made in writing to the Heritage, Culture and Tourism Division. Please provide the reasons for cancellation, mailing address and full business name, and allow four to six weeks for processing.

 No show or early departure

 No refunds will be given to vendors who do not show up on the day or who leave early.

 Food vendors

KFL&A Public Health and Loyalist Township require all food vendors to complete the KFL&A Public Health online special event vendor application form.

Vendors must comply with the special event vendor information and with the applicable sections of the Food Premises Regulation, under the Health Protection and Promotion Act, R.S.O., 1990. A public health inspector will review the application and will contact you to arrange an inspection and to provide a Temporary Vendor Permit prior to the event (when possible).

  • Food vendors are required to submit a copy of the kitchen’s most recent public health inspection report, or
  • If the kitchen space is rented to prepare food, food vendors must provide a letter from the owner of the kitchen space confirming that the food is prepared at that location. A copy of the kitchen’s most recent public health inspection report shall be included.

Please submit your application to your event organizer. The event organizer is responsible for submitting a special event organizer application and all vendor applications to KFL&A Public Health at least 14 days prior to the event.

More information and a special events checklist for Vendors is available from KLF&A Public Health.
