How it works
Pick a project and sign up — tell us when you can come and what you're bringing.
Do the thing. Our team is on the lot and will point you in the right direction.
Log your hours (or the value of what you contributed — we count in-kind at a $20/hr equivalent).
We verify, your badge grows — and if you're a vendor, hours can become booth credit.
One honest thing about fees. Volunteer credit and any discounts apply to your booth fees — which we can genuinely reduce. The $20 listing fee is the one thing we never waive, for anyone. That $20 keeps this website, your vendor account, automatic permit filing, and the marketing tools running for every vendor on the Lot. If it's truly out of reach, tell us — but that specific fee we can't waive.
What it actually costs to run The Lot
People sometimes ask why we charge at all, or why parking isn't free. Here's the honest picture — the real, recurring costs behind every market day. It takes real money to give Mariposa a place like this, and every fee goes right back into keeping it open, safe, and growing.
