Listing & correction policy
Last updated 2026-11-08. SPOT is in alpha; this page changes as features arrive, and changes are dated here.
What gets listed
Farmers markets, craft fairs, holiday bazaars and similar events in Washington and Oregon where independent vendors sell to the public. Listings are free. Paying never gets a listing in, and not paying never keeps one out.
Spot Check and Unverified
- Spot Check means a person confirmed the details against the organizer's own website or official page, in the month shown.
- No Spot Check yet (Unverified) means we found the listing but haven't confirmed it from an organizer source. It stays visible so you can check it yourself.
- A market that stops running is marked Inactive rather than deleted, so old links still work.
Corrections
Anyone can suggest a correction. A person reads every one and checks it against the organizer's source. Our target is to act on a correction within 48 hours. Organizers who claim their listing can update it themselves.
Removing a listing
Organizers can ask us to remove or hide their listing through the Help page, using an email address we can match to the event. If an event has ended for good, we usually mark it Inactive instead, unless you ask for removal.
Links
Apply, website and social links point only to pages the organizer controls: their own site, application form or official account. We don't link to other directories' copies, and broken links are repaired or removed.
