MarsCon is excited to offer two great marketplace options:
Dealers' Room & Makers' Market

Dealers’ Room

MarsCon is scanning the galaxy for dealers for our 2026 convention, March 6-8 at the Airport Hilton in Bloomington MN.

We welcome dealers who provide new and exciting goods that fit in the realm of science, science fiction, fantasy, anime, gaming, and everything nerdy! As our space is limited, in order to provide a wide range of goods we are limiting our dealers to a single space approx. 8′ X 9′,  which comes with one 8′ table. Some spaces also have wall space behind them, and those will be assigned on a first come first served basis.

Our application process will go live on July 15, 2025. We have a new vendor vetting process this year for Dealer’s Room and Makers’ Market; all vendors will be selected by a committee, based on product originality, appropriateness to the market, and lack of product duplication in the Dealer’s Room and in Makers’ Market. Vendors will be notified of acceptance by Oct. 15, 2025. Those not selected will be placed on a waitlist. 

  • If you would like to be considered for vending in the Dealers’ Room, please click on the link below to go to our Dealer Table Application Form. (the application form will go live on July 15)
  • Our 2026 Dealers table price will be announced soon. Accepted Dealers will also need to register for the con.
  • If you have any questions and need to contact us, please use the Dealers/Makers’ Market contact form below.

Applications for 2026 Dealers' Room and Makers' Market will open on 7/15/25

Makers’ Market

Our Makers’ Market welcomes Authors, Artists, and other makers who can operate from a single table with very limited backspace. This market is in the main hallway on the 2nd floor of the hotel. The market tables are NOT secured after sales hours, so the vendors in the Makers’ Market will either pack up their wares at the close of business or will move their table inside the main Dealers’ Room. 

As noted above, we have a new vendor vetting process this year for selecting vendors; all vendors will be selected by a committee, based on product originality, appropriateness to the market, and lack of product duplication with other vendors.

  • If you have a general question about our Makers’ Market, or being a vendor at MarsCon, please use the contact form below to send us a message.
  • If you would like to be considered for vending in our Makers’ Market, our application will open on 7/15/25. 
  • Our Makers’ Market table price for 2026 will be announced soon.  MN vendors will also need to register for the con.
