2025 Portland Sunday Parkways Vendor Scholarship Application

Portland Sunday Parkways offers event scholarships to increase access for systemically excluded and/or new small businesses or organizations. You may apply for a scholarship to request that the fee for vending at a Portland Sunday Parkways event be waived.

We will notify selected recipients of the vendor scholarship three weeks prior to the selected event.

Priority given to:
-First time applicants
