Why display at the Expo?
  • Expo guests come from not just Wayland, but all of the surrounding communities. This is your opportunity to reach many people in just FOUR hours!
  • We market the Expo heavily to draw people there - from radio spots, newspaper ads, posters, flyers, website, social media, signage, cross-promoting from vendors, and more! We do WHAT we do to GET people THERE to meet YOU!
  • Meet with other area businesses/organizations - We offer a FREE vendor lounge where we have a power networking vendor continental breakfast the morning of Expo. Also, throughout the day, the lounge is open for vendors to take a break or have a lunch. Complimentary snacks will be provided in the lounge. The lounge is exclusive to vendors only.
  • This is YOUR opportunity to highlight your business or organization to the West MI community!

RETURNING FOR 2023 - Due to popular demand, we will bring in handmade items from local crafters and artists! Perfect for fall décor and early Christmas shopping! 

Artist and Crafters - If you handmake your goods, there is a spot for you too! Due to limited availability, artists and crafters registrations are available by competing the  Artist & Crafter Expo Registration (form fillable) and returning it to denise@waylandchamber.org.
