The Lake County Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the 52nd Annual Blessing of the Bikes Marketplace. This 3-day event takes place May 17-19, 2024 in Baldwin Michigan in scenic Lake County!
The Blessing of the Bikes Vendor Marketplace offers a spacious, high-visibility, easily accessible venue in the heart of downtown Baldwin. Located directly on M-37, vendors enjoy the benefits of complete access to more than 20,000 riders and visitors celebrating Michigan’s oldest and the original Blessing of the Bikes. With ample parking for both vendors and patrons alike, the Marketplace has become the premier vending site for the event.
If you would like to be a Marketplace Vendor, please complete the Vendor Contract and return it with half of the total amount due on or before March 15, 2024. The balance of the rent will be due on or before April 15, 2024.
If you have a placement preference, we will do our very best to accommodate your request. Please note: Vendor Location will be determined by the event committee.
To make this a successful event for everyone, we may need to limit the number of “similar” vendors so please be specific on your contract as to what you will be selling or services you offer. If you do not have a permit to sell food and beverages from the District 10 Health Department and/or a Grocers License, NO FOOD/BEVERAGES may be sold from your site. Violators will be asked to leave Marketplace Immediately! Food Vendors will pay an additional $125 to help offset the costs of electricity and clean-up.
Due to space constraints, camping space is limited and is only available on a first come first serve basis. Camping is only allowed on Maple St. between 9th St. and the Rails for Trails. If you intend to camp, you must mark it on your application. Power will not be available for campers. You may also check under our Explore drop-down and Lake County Chamber’s Facebook page for alternative camping/motel accommodations.
Upon arrival and prior to set up, all vendors are required to check-in at the Lake County Chamber of Commerce office located at 895 Michigan Avenue (M-37), Baldwin, MI 49304.
