Merchants

The Merchants Market is a long standing tradition with Pyrates in New Orleans – in fact, the Laffite brothers & their associates were the original Pyrate marketeers! Our market has been within the French Quarter as this is traditionally where goods came up from Barataria to be sold to one and all!

Thanks to our mate Stef  ‘The Decatur Dragon’ McClain, we have a very special spot for Pyrate HQ and the Merchants Market this year – The Balcony  Music Club! It includes a stage, indoor spaces, an enclosed courtyard and a fantastic balcony…conveniently located at the junction o’ the French Quarter and the Marigny Triangle! Stef is also working with us to organize some other shenanigans in the club…as well as the first ever Louisiana Pyrate Wench Pageant!

         

 Spaces are awarded on quality of merchandise, preference to handmade (extra preference to yer OWN hands makin’ it) and of course interest to PYRATES. If ye’ve received approval, then space will be confirmed on payment. Every Merchant is required to provide an accurate description of their goods along with photos (links to photos acceptable). Any items not pre-approved may have to be removed.

Fees for each space are $100 (major credit cards, some debit/gift cards, PayPal) – yer receipt will be emailed shortly after yer payment clears. As they say “first up, best dressed” – spaces are limited and those who register & pay first, get first crack!
Merchant fees may be split between production costs and our designated charities.

Market will run aprox. Noon – 7pm, Sat. &  Sun (…feel free to stay a bit longer if ye like) hours may be subject to slight flexibility. Setup times TBA, but expect one hour before opening minimum.

Merchants should be prepared to provide their own table/chair unless otherwise notified. Merchants are responsible for securing their own goods both during and after the market. Because o’ the unique nature o’ this space, there may be limited spaces available that can be secured overnight – allocation/availability at the discretion o’ the Captain and BMC management.

Please fill out the form as completely as possible and be sure to link to a website where we can see yer merchandise or upload photos.
