----- What Makes Little Modern Market Different -----

Since 2016, Little Modern Market has been focused on creating more than just a shopping event. Our goal is to create meaningful connections between local businesses and the community while providing an enjoyable experience for both vendors and shoppers.

 

Community First

We believe local businesses are the heart of our communities. Every market is designed to bring people together, encourage connection, and support small businesses in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Thoughtfully Curated Vendors

We carefully review every application to create a balanced mix of products, categories, and price points. Our goal is to provide shoppers with a diverse selection of businesses while helping vendors avoid oversaturated categories.

We Promote Our Vendors

We want our vendors to succeed before, during and after the market.

Accepted vendors receive exposure through:

Social media features/Vendor spotlightsWebsite listingsEmail marketingEvent promotions

We actively encourage shoppers to discover and support the businesses participating in each market.

Established & Trusted

Little Modern Market has been connecting local businesses and shoppers since 2016. Over the years, we've welcomed thousands of attendees and supported hundreds of small businesses throughout Calgary and the surrounding area.

Professional Photography & Content Opportunities

We regularly invest in professional event photography and encourage vendors to use market content to promote their businesses long after the event has ended.

A Supportive Vendor Community

Many of our vendors return year after year because of the relationships they've built through Little Modern Market. We strive to create a positive, collaborative environment where businesses can connect, share ideas, and support one another.

Giving Back

Supporting our community extends beyond shopping local. Through our markets, we've partnered with local charities and organizations to help raise awareness, collect donations, and give back to causes that make a meaningful impact in our community.

Clear Communication

We know running a small business is busy. That's why we prioritize clear communication, organized event planning, and timely updates throughout event process. Our goal is simple: create a market experience where vendors feel supported, shoppers feel inspired, and everyone leaves feeling connected to their community.

----- Why Vendors Choose Little Modern Market -----

Little Modern Market has become one of Calgary's most recognized local shopping events. Our markets connect vendors with engaged Calgary shoppers who are passionate about supporting local businesses. Through social media promotion, email marketing, professional photography, and community partnerships, we work hard to help vendors maximize their exposure before, during, and after each event.

----- What Makes A Strong Application -----

Little Modern Market receives more applications than available vendor spaces, so taking the time to submit a complete and thoughtful application can make a big difference. When reviewing applications, we consider the following:

Quality Products

We look for products that are well-made, thoughtfully designed, and presented professionally. Whether you create your products yourself or curate a collection for your business, we want to see quality and attention to detail.

Strong Photography

Your photos are often our first impression of your business. Clear, well-lit images that accurately represent your products and brand help us better understand what you offer.

Booth Presentation

We love vendors who put thought into their displays. A clean, inviting, and visually appealing booth helps create a great experience for shoppers and showcases your products effectively.

A Clear Brand Identity

Businesses with cohesive branding, consistent messaging, and a clear understanding of their target audience tend to stand out during the review process.

Market Fit

We carefully curate each event to create a balanced shopping experience. While a business may be strong on its own, acceptance also depends on category balance, product mix, and the overall needs of each market.

Professionalism

Complete applications, accurate information, and attention to detail help us evaluate your business fairly and efficiently.

Growth & Creativity

We love seeing businesses evolve. Whether you're a first-time vendor or a returning favourite, we're always excited to see new products, fresh displays, and continued growth within your business.

A strong application doesn't need to be perfect. We simply want to see the best representation of your business and how you would contribute to the overall Little Modern Market experience.

All 2026 Markets will be held at The Red & White Club 

Located at the Olympic Volunteer Centre in McMahon Stadium

1833 Crowchild Trail NW, Calgary
