Mount Zion’s Women’s Ministry is preparing for its
twenty-first Marketplace and Arts Fair, a beloved
tradition that uplifts entrepreneurs, artists, authors, crafters,
and food vendors in our community.

This year’s Marketplace will be held on
Saturday, March 7, 2026, from
11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall
of Mount Zion Baptist Church. Set-up begins at
10:00 a.m., with breakdown and clean-up from
4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Marketplace will feature both shopping and information tables.
Persons who wish only to disseminate information
(e.g., services, ministries, community resources) are also invited
to participate.

The event will also be streamed. All vendors are
strongly encouraged to bring business cards and
encourage patrons to take photos of those cards.
Long after the Marketplace ends, patrons often call asking for
information about a vendor.

We are working hard to improve attendance by inviting churches and
advertising in newspapers and on the
radio. You can help by:

• Inviting at least ten guests so we can maintain a
  steady flow of patrons.
• Sharing our flyer with all of your
  email contacts and
  Facebook friends.
• Remembering your friends and supporters who are
  not online and inviting them personally.

Vendors should bring business cards for customers
and potential customers and encourage patrons to
take photos of cards and displays. This helps
customers find you long after the Marketplace has ended.

Food Vendors

• We wish to have a variety of foods. Please
  encourage food vendors to apply early.
• All food vendors must provide copies of their current
  food permits.

Door Prize Donation

• Each vendor is asked to donate one item to be
  used as a door prize.

Entertainment

• We are scheduling entertainment during the
  Marketplace.
• Vendors and guests are welcome to
  suggest performers or acts for consideration.

Attached to the mailing is the
vendor application. You have permission to make
copies or download it from our website at
mountzionseattle.org.

Applications are also available at the
Mount Zion Information Center in the Church Lobby.

The Church Office is open from
10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
