  • To support our commitment to sustainability and reduce waste removal costs, the Downtown Growers’ Market (DGM) has implemented a High Waste Booth Fee for select prepared food vendors.

    Who is subject to the High Waste Booth Fee?
    Prepared food vendors using single-use service items (e.g., cups, utensils, plates, bowls, containers, straws, napkins) that are disposed of on-site will be subject to the High Waste Booth Fee, regardless of whether those items are labeled as compostable or recyclable.

    Fee Structure:

    • Standard Booth Fee: $30

    • High Waste Booth Fee: $60 (applied in place of the standard fee, not in addition)

    Determination & Enforcement:

    • High waste designations are made by DGM management based on product packaging and booth setup, including product photos, application materials, and on-site observation.

    • Vendors who change their packaging to eliminate on-site single-use waste may request re-evaluation by notifying DGM management in writing.

    • Once approved, vendors will revert to the standard booth fee moving forward.

    • Management reserves the right to reinstate the High Waste Booth Fee if on-site waste increases again.

    Encouraged Alternatives:
    To avoid this fee, vendors are encouraged to use:

    • Reusable, returnable, or take-home containers

    • “Bring Your Own” programs for cups or containers

    • On-site service models that minimize packaging

    This policy ensures equitable fee application and aligns with our environmental values while helping manage rising waste disposal costs.

As city permitting requirements change, we’ll update this page.
If you have any questions about booth fees or permits, please contact us at market@abqmainstreet.org or call 505-252-2959.

Our application window is from September to November.
Here's how to apply:

  1. Create or update your profile on ManageMyMarket.com

  2. Apply for the Downtown Growers' Market. Be sure to read the instructions at the start of the application. The application is the only information the jury uses to decide who gets into the market.

  3. Review the required paperwork for each vendor type (scroll down to see what's needed). All vendors must have commercial liability insurance (minimum one million dollar policy) to vend at the market. Paperwork must be submitted before the start of the market season.

After applications are submitted, our volunteer jury will review all arts, wellness, hot food, and fresh-prepared food vendors. The review process will begin in December, and vendors will be notified by late January or early February regarding their selection for the season.
