Customer FAQ

What are the hours? The Markets are open from 10-4 pm. We ask that customers please not enter the Market area before 10 am so that our vendors can finish setting up completely before the sale opens (i.e. we don't do "early bird" sales). We appreciate your assistance so that we can bring you the best possible market experience!  

.

How many vendors are at the Markets? Each Market has 90 to 100 curated handmade and vintage vendors along with a lineup of the area's best food trucks, live music, free kids crafts, and more.  All vendors apply and are carefully selected each season, and we're lucky to be able to pick from a talented vendor pool to put together our Markets. 

.

What happens if the weather is bad? Our events are rain or shine. A cancellation is possible in the case of severe or dangerous weather such as lightning, all day heavy rain, or excessive wind. The safety of our customers and vendors will always be kept at the forefront of our decisions, and weather decisions are made by noon Saturday at the latest. If the weather seems "iffy" and you're wondering if the show is still happening or if there are updates of any kind, you can always check our social media accounts. 

.

Do you have rain dates?  No, given our multi date schedule each season and the upfront production time --and the fact that our host locations typically have other events on their schedules on subsequent weekends -- we do not have rain dates. Most vendors also book their shows well in advance, and typically every weekend, so rain dates ultimately really aren't practical.

.

Is there a fee to attend as a shopper? There is no admission charge to attend the outdoor Markets, and all are welcome to join us! It's our goal to have a fun, friendly, relaxed, and welcoming event for everyone.

.

Where can I park? Parking options can be found on each location's page linked above. There are several nearby parking lots in each of our locations.

.

Can I bring my dog? Absolutely. On-leash, well-socialized dogs are welcome at our outdoor events! The Market can be noisy and at times crowded (and the pavement can get hot in the spring), so we would just encourage everyone to use your judgment when deciding whether to bring your pet.

.

Is there food? Yes! We always have a rotating group of gourmet food trucks and beverage vendors at our outdoor Markets, and it's one of the most popular aspects of attending. We try to have something for everyone and include vegan/vegetarian and gluten free items as part of the lineup whenever possible.

.

Can I take public transit? The Chestnut Hill, Bryn Mawr, and Collingswood Markets are all just steps from the respective SEPTA (PA) and PATCO (NJ) stations. We also encourage our customers to walk, bike, or carpool whenever possible. 

.

Where and when is the Holiday Market held?  Our Holiday Market was relaunced as a 2 day indoor show in 2023 at the Westtown School in West Chester PA. Stay tuned for information and details for the 2024 event. 

.

Who organizes the Market? You can read more about how the Market came to be, and a bit about Founder Janet Gardner Long, here. Clover is produced in partnership with the Chestnut Hill Business District, Borough of Collingswood, Bryn Mawr Business Association and Kennett Collabortive.

Is there anything else I need to know? A few things: 

• Cash is king, but our vendors accept credit cards as well. If you need to replenish cash, there are ATM's nearby in most of our locations.
• There are portable toilets available onsite, and all locations are handicapped-accessible. Many of the nearby restaurants also allow use of their restrooms for paying customers.
• We encourage all of our customers to make some time to explore the restaurants and shops in the downtown business districts where we operate. It's one of our favorite aspects of the locations we've selected!
• We also encourage our customers to bring their own reusable totebags for their purchases.
