Open Applications

Please note that these are all Goth-themed shows, and we are only looking for Goth and Goth-friendly vendors. We are, however, open to all varieties of goth and goth-adjacent styles, such as oddities and witchy vendors, pastel goth, dark academia, steampunk, horror, punk, and more.

All vendors are responsible for obtaining their own sales tax permit for whichever state an in-person show is held in, as well as any required permits, licenses, or insurance they may be legally obligated to have. Ghost Ship Market does not provide permitting services or advice.

Finally, we do not allow human remains, knock-offs, candles with non-wax decorations (i.e., crystals and herbs on top), white sage by non-tribal members, weapons, controlled substances, or any other dangerous goods. This is not a complete list of what we do not allow; please refer to the vendor rules for a complete list.

Ghost Ship Market @ManRay: 1st and 3rd Saturdays

Our main repeating show: a new bimonthly market at the LEGENDARY ManRay nightclub in Cambridge Mass! This is an air-conditioned indoor venue, great for avoiding rain and being too hot in black summer outfits, and is a 19+ show. There is also a dedicated Discord server for customer support for this show! You can find it here: https://discord.gg/B6atBAa6h5

All shows are on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month, (except January), and run from 2-7 pm. Feel free to save a future date, and please see below for all currently open applications. Full event details on applications.

Online Shows

Online shows are essentially a shared online showcase. Participating vendors will be listed on this website in a dedicated show guide, along with a shopping guide highlighting their best goods. Customers are directed to the vendors’ individual websites to make purchases. There will be many posts on all our active social media channels in the weeks leading up to the show, with each vendor getting an individual highlight post. Additionally, there are optional shared sales codes, an official live schedule, and a shared charity to help with promotion.

Recommended for vendors who want to have weather-proof events on their schedule, or who want to find customers outside of their local markets. Best for vendors with an active online presence and regular online sales.

All online shows run Sunday – Tuesday, for optimal online sales.

There are currently no applications open for online shows .

      Hi Scott!

      I just opened up a waitlist application for the Yule Marketplace. It’s linked on this page. 🙂 My apologies for taking so long to reply – I didn’t get an alert for your comment.
