Anyone can vend at the African Marketplace, as long as the product or service fits the description of being influenced or manufactured by the global African Diaspora community. Product and service quality and diversity are also used to determine vendor or product acceptance. There are special dates for vending products or services related to the following themes: Pacific Island Festival; Brazilian Festival; Salsa Festival; A Taste of Africa; Caribbean Festival; Pow Wow and Brazilian Music & Cultural Festival.
