Made by Me Market (for kids)
Arts, Crafts, & Farmer’s Market where young entrepreneurs are the vendors.
Primary “makers” should be age 17 or younger
Yes, Please:
We'd love to have vendors of all kinds, including ...
- Handmade arts & crafts (anything goes!)
- Pottery
- Baked goods
- Handmade jewelry
- Lemonade
- Veggies from your garden
- Plants you've grown
Please allow your child to take the lead and get experience making & selling goods. Primary makers should be age 17 or younger. (We know parents have to be helpers sometimes and that’s OK.)
No, Thanks:
- Please, no multi-level marketing.
- For food vendors, please follow all State of Ohio Cottage Food Laws.

Things to know:
- You will need to bring your own supplies: tent, table, chair, etc. Tents must be 10' x 10' or smaller. Weights are required to keep your tent secure.
- On certain dates, we will offer a limited number of picnic tables to use as your "booth." If you secure one of these spots, please bring a table cover.
- Set up can begin 60 minutes before the market start time.
- Booths will be set up on the main lawn of Olentangy Caverns (near the gift shop). This area is open to the public and does not require a paid ticket to enter.
- All belongings must fit within your booth space.
- There are no power outlets and no generators allowed. Please plan to sell items that do not require electricity.
- For the safety of our petting zoo animals, no pets are allowed on the property.
IS EVERY BOOTH APPROVED?
- If there are too many of the same category, we may reach out and suggest selling an alternate item.
- If your booth description doesn’t comply with the guidelines, we will let you know within 48 hours and refund your booth reservation.
BOOTH COST $25 INCLUDES:
- 1 reserved space for your tent (or a reserved picnic table)
- 1 kids all access pass ($25 value, good for any day in 2025)
- 1 "Made by Me Market" t-shirt (shirts are ordered 15 days before the market, so reservations close to the event date may not receive a shirt)
Booth reservations are non-refundable (unless the event is cancelled due to weather), so please be sure you and your child are committed before reserving a spot.
All access pass and t-shirt are forfeited for cancellations / no-shows.
