The Black Raven Marketplace Mission

The mission of the Black Raven Marketplace is to create a space that showcases an array of unique and imaginative vendors, artists and creators who resonate with a darker, more alternative audience. Our goal is to provide a marketplace where unconventional, eerie and artfully macabre products can thrive, offering attendees an immersive experience that celebrates the mysterious and the beautifully strange. By bringing together talented individuals who specialize in fashion, art, accessories, decor, and more, we aim to foster a community where those with a passion for the unusual and the extraordinary can connect and find inspiration. The most colorful minds often thrive in the shadows.

Our Process

The Black Raven Marketplace values your feedback regarding any issues or concerns you may have. It allows us to review our practices and improves our vendor experience. To further clarify the Vendor Application process, we at Black Raven Marketplace must adhere to California requirements to hold our events. It is important to understand that most California cities and counties have their own Business License and tax ordinance, which require a license to operate and permit to sell. As the event operator, we may be held liable for penalties for any vendor who does not have the required documentation. For all Black Raven Marketplace events, we will continue to make sure that participating vendors have valid business documents. Within a 90-day window of your event with us, you can forward a copy of your sellers permit with the temporary pop up location address. (Not your home address) Send your sellers permit copy to [email protected]

Event Hours

We at Black Raven Marketplace must adhere to the venue rules to hold our event. As the event operator, our goal is to arrange our show schedule so that all vendors have ample time to set up and take down, with a focus on actual vending hours.

Nighttime markets: 3:00pm move in. Market hours 5pm-9:30pm. Vacate by 10:30pm
