    Join us for this year's Foster City Summer Days 2025 happening on Friday, Aug. 15, Saturday, Aug. 16 and Sunday, Aug. 17. Located outdoors at the beautiful Leo J. Ryan Park at 650 Shell Blvd, Foster City, CA 94404 . Featuring: Over 100 makers and artists vendors Over 20 food trucks and food vendors Carnival rides & games Live music performances Rubber ducky races (on Sunday only) Beer and wine booths Beautiful outdoor park right on the water perfect for picnicking Why is SJMADE doing something all the way in Foster City? In 2019, we were part of the event through our sister company Moveable, curating and placing food trucks at the event on both Saturday and Sunday. We saw first-hand how big and how significant of a community event this is for the Foster City / San Mateo County area so we're truly excited to be able to curate and create the artist & maker market for this year's Foster City Summer Days event. While SF Etsy–the curator of the artist & maker market in 2019–has taken a sabbatical from events indefinitely, we'll still be working with them to ensure that we can build on the success of the 2019 market experience! We don't normally do things so far away from San José but we wanted to help out our friends at SF Etsy and, as we mentioned above, we really believe this could be a significant selling experience for artists & makers in one of the more scenic public parks in the Bay Area. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to help build this viable growth opportunity for our creative small business community!

Each vendor will receive one (1) vendor parking pass which they must display on their dashboard throughout the time their vehicle is parked there. Vending IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2025 VENDOR APPLICANTS: Due to the ongoing construction of the new Foster City Recreation Center, the vendor marketplace for this year's Foster City Summer Days 2025 will be relocated to the street closure on Shell Boulevard as opposed to its normal location on the meadow near the Leo J Ryan Park amphitheater. This will mean all vendor booths will be located on the street. All accepted vendors will receive a 10'x10' booth space. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own canopies, canopy weights, tables and chairs. No rentals are available for this event. For event equipment rentals, we suggest considering iCelebrate Events or Stuart Rentals . If a canopy is used, sufficient weights must be placed on each leg of the canopy, otherwise the fire marshal will ask the offending vendor to take down their canopy until they can obtain sufficient weights. There is no access to electricity for vendors. There is no wifi available to vendors. We recommend vendors prepare to use mobile data and/or hotspots during the event (using mobile data worked perfectly fine for vendors in past years). Each vendor will receive one (1) vendor parking pass for the vendor parking lot located directly across the street from Leo J Ryan Park near the Wells Fargo. Non-food/drink Vendors Participation Fee: $55 base fee + 10% of your sales during the event. The base fee is paid upon submission of your application. The 10% of sales will be collected at the conclusion of the event in the form of cash, check (made out to "San Jose Made") or PayPal (sent to "billing@sanjosemade.com") [NOTE: The fees are ultimately to be remitted to the City of Foster City]. Food/Drink Vendors will need to fill out a San Mateo County RC1 TFF Application and pay an additional $123 fee (included here in the booth fees) on top of the $55 base fee + 10% of your sales during the event . The base fee is paid upon submission of your application. The 10% of sales will be collected at the conclusion of the event in the form of cash, check (made out to "San Jose Made") or PayPal (sent to "billing@sanjosemade.com"). RC1 means no food prep on-site. We will not be accepting any RC2 vendors (food prep on-site). If you have any questions about your food/drink vending eligibility, please email events@sanjosemade.com before applying. [NOTE: The fees ultimately be remitted to the City of Foster City]. Vendors will be able to load-in and setup starting at 8 AM on Saturday, Aug. 16. Vendors can cart or carry their stuff from their parked vehicle OR they can bring their vehicle inside the premises between 8 AM and 10 AM. Starting at 10 AM, no vehicles will be allowed to enter the premises AND any vehicles on premises will need to leave or risk being towed. Vendors will be able to close starting at 6 PM on Saturday. Security will be on-site to watch over vendors canopies and tables overnight. Vendors can leave their items on-site at their own discretion. Vendors will be able to store their products overnight between Saturday and Sunday in a lockable room within the City of Foster City's Temporary Recreation Center (the actual Recreation Center is under construction). This applies only to products. In years past, vendors have been able to store larger items overnight but for this year, due to the current construction of the Recreation Center, there is limited overnight storage space for vendors inside the Temporary Recreation Center. Vendors will be able to access this storage room on Sunday morning starting at 9 AM. Vendors will be able to close starting at 5 PM on Sunday. Vendors can either cart or carry their stuff to their parked vehicle starting at 5 PM or they can bring in their vehicles starting at 5:45 PM.

We have seen a reported increase of instances on Facebook and Instagram of people attempting to scam prospective vendors by purporting to be "selling" the last few vendor spaces for our previous events. In many of these cases, the scammer asks for payment via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or some other form of digital payment after filling out a Google Form. Please note that these people (i.e. the scammers) are not associated with San José Made in any way. We never sell vendor spaces through social media direct messages or even text messages for that matter. We only sell vendor spaces through our official website (sanjosemade.com). If you ever encounter communication online from a non-SJMADE account purporting to be associated with SJMADE, please feel free to contact us at either events@sanjosemade.com or info@sanjosemade.com . We would be happy to verify for you whether or not the communication you've received has officially come from us. Please note that we cannot honor any vendor booth spaces that were purchased through channels that were not ours.

We have seen a reported increase of instances on Facebook and Instagram of people attempting to scam prospective vendors by purporting to be "selling" the last few vendor spaces for our previous events. In many of these cases, the scammer asks for payment via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or some other form of digital payment after filling out a Google Form. Please note that these people (i.e. the scammers) are not associated with San José Made in any way. We never sell vendor spaces through social media direct messages or even text messages. We only sell vendor spaces through our official website (sanjosemade.com). If you ever encounter communication online from a non-SJMADE account purporting to be associated with SJMADE, please feel free to contact us at either events@sanjosemade.com or info@sanjosemade.com . We would be happy to verify for you whether or not the communication you've received has officially come from us. Please note that we cannot honor any vendor booth spaces that were purchased through channels that were not ours.

San José Made will in good faith attempt to resolve any vendor's transgressions of the Code of Conduct (as well as any applicable laws) in order to preserve their ability to participate in an event. However, San José Made reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel the participation of any vendor at any time before or during the event. This decision may be based on, but is not limited to, failure to comply with the Code of Conduct, inappropriate behavior, violation of applicable laws or any action deemed detrimental to the event's success, reputation, or safety. In such cases, no refund of fees paid will be issued (unless the cancellation occurs during an applicable refund eligibility window), and the vendor agrees to comply promptly with any instructions from the event organizer regarding the removal of materials and departure from the event premises. If you believe you'll be unable to adhere to this code of conduct, please let us know and we can discuss. Scam Alert Please feel free to share with any of your fellow vendors or vendor communities. We have seen a reported increase of instances on Facebook and Instagram of people attempting to scam prospective vendors by purporting to be "selling" the last few vendor spaces for our previous events (SJMADE Fest 2024, SJMADE Summer Fair 2024). In many of these cases, the scammer asks for payment via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or some other form of digital payment after filling out a Google Form. Please note that these people (i.e. the scammers) are not associated with San José Made in any way. We never sell vendor spaces through social media direct messages or even text messages for that matter. We only sell vendor spaces through our official website (sanjosemade.com). If you ever encounter communication online from a non-SJMADE account purporting to be associated with SJMADE, please feel free to contact us at either events@sanjosemade.com or info@sanjosemade.com . We would be happy to verify for you whether or not the communication you've received has officially come from us. Please note that we cannot honor any vendor booth spaces that were purchased through channels that were not ours.
