Will there be options for food waste management?
Yes! We’re partnering with Green My Plate to ensure all food is served on reusable plates. Just drop them in the pink bins after use to help us minimize waste.

How can I become a stall holder at the Vegan Market at Federation Square?
Potential stall holders can apply via our website. We review applications based on several factors, including the uniqueness of the product, its alignment with vegan principles, and overall fit with the market’s values.

What type of products can I sell?
We welcome a variety of products as long as they are vegan and cruelty-free. This includes food, drinks, clothing, beauty products, art, crafts, and homewares.

What is the cost for setting up a stall?

• Table Stalls:
  • 2m x 1.5m: $150 (includes table hire)
  • 2 x 1.5m $100 (Inside Area – Lower Foot Traffic)
• Marquee Sites:
  • Food Stall (All): $600
  • 3x3m Stall (No deep frying or BBQ): $600
  • Food Truck (Please get in touch, we have a limited number of stalls and priority will be given to 100% vegan businesses)

What does the stall fee include?
The stall fee includes a designated area for your stall, marketing for the event on our social media platforms, and access to shared facilities such as restrooms and garbage disposal. However, stall holders are expected to bring their own chairs and other necessary equipment.

What are the setup and pack down times?
Stall holders can set up from 6am onwards and must be ready to trade by 9:00am. Pack down can commence at 4:00pm and must be completed by 5:00pm.

How can I make a payment?
Payments can be made through our website via credit/debit card or bank transfer.

What numbers are you expecting?
Last year we had around 4000 people, and we are expecting a bigger number this year.

What if I have more questions?
Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@plantbasedparadise.au for any additional questions. We’re always here to assist you.

Know a vegan performer/entertainer?
Please reach out to us at hello@plantbasedparadise.au. We’re looking to support vegan musicians with a special area for performing while people eat.

What is the cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel your stall, you must provide at least two weeks’ notice to receive a full refund. Cancellations made within two weeks of the market will not be eligible for a refund.

Are there any specific requirements or restrictions for food stalls?
Food vendors must comply with all relevant local health and safety regulations. This includes obtaining necessary permits and licenses, having appropriate food safety training, and following safe food handling practices.

Anything else?
In the ‘anything else’ section of your application form please specify if your business is:

A) 100% vegan owned and operated (Vegan Cheese, Vegan Meat Substitutes etc) 

B) Accidentally vegan yet owned by a Vegan (As below) 

C) Accidentally vegan and non-vegan owned (Twisty Potato, Soy Candles etc)

What happens after I am accepted?
Payment will be processed 24 hours after your application is accepted. We will allocate stall locations a lot closer to the date of the event. Bump in information will be released usually the week before the event. If we book out early then information will be released sooner. (We get a lot of last minute bookings, please try and get your application in as soon as you can)
