IWU Homecoming Vendor Market Application

Thank you for your interest in partnering with us for our annual IWU 1850 Vendor Market!

The 1850 Market is scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM on the University Quad. This event is for small business owners, local shops, and makers.

Please fill out the Vendor Application Form below. We will let you know within one week if your application has been accepted. Upon approval, we will ask you to pay for your booth space. All booth rentals will support our Wesleyan Fund, which is a powerful source that helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of an Illinois Wesleyan education. Gifts to the Wesleyan Fund have an immediate and meaningful impact on every aspect of campus. These gifts are vital to academic program innovation and updates, as well as supporting top University priorities and new initiatives.

Vendor fees are non-refundable. Space is limited, and not all applications will be accepted. Applications must be submitted by Friday, August 28, 2026 to ensure you are listed in the program and marketing materials.

For questions, please contact Ashley Graber, Alumni Engagement & Events Specialist, at agraber@iwu.edu.
