The Market Beautiful - Montana Summer 2021

About The Market Beautiful

We started our markets in Somers, MT in 2010. We have always and will always be a vintage market, but we also bring in trendy handmade items as well as boutique clothing that you cannot find at a box store! Our priority is taking care of our vendors as best we can, making sure they succeed, while giving our shoppers the best shopping experience ever! We choose vendors that we are confident will do well with our demographic. We would hate for anyone to waste their time, money, and hard work by not succeeding at our event, so we do not accept vendors with merchandise that we feel would not be a big hit with our specific shoppers. Being a vendor at other vintage markets is a good thing to mention, however it does not always mean that you make a good fit for our market. We strive to be different from other vintage markets which sometimes means bringing in different vendors.

Market Beautiful Vendor Information

Are you interested in being a vendor at Market Beautiful? Vendors will set up Thursday and Friday. Categories are limited so that the event is not oversaturated with one type of merchandise, except for vintage. Market Beautiful is looking for unique items not those that can be found at box stores. Learn more and apply to be a vendor – HERE

“We can never have enough VINTAGE! Primitives, antiques, architectural salvage, mid-century, and retro décor is what we love! However not just ANYTHING vintage sells at our event. We are looking for the vintage that our shoppers buy, but also a good display is KEY! Trendy handmade merchandise is also a big hit at our shows and adds a variety! Boutique clothing is something that our shoppers also love! We like to add UNIQUE vendors that we know our demographic would buy from!”
