We’re excited to be bringing Poshfest to Los Angeles this October, and we want to make sure you have everything you need as you’re considering joining us—whether that’s as a shopper, a seller, or both. We’ll keep this page updated so check back here for more details as they come!
What is Poshfest?
Poshfest is Poshmark’s largest event of the year, and it’s getting a refresh!
We’ve reimagined Poshfest as a shoppable marketplace, bringing together sellers, great finds, and shoppers in person. Featuring a curated mix of sellers from the Poshmark community, this two-day event brings the excitement of shopping, selling, and connecting to life with vintage treasures, luxury finds, and one-of-a-kind pieces waiting to be discovered.
What are the event hours?
The market will be open 10am – 5pm each day, October 2nd and 3rd.
Where is the event located?
City Market Social House, 1145 San Pedro St, Los Angeles, CA 90015
Why this location?
Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, City Market Social House sits at the center of one of the Fashion District, home to world-class art institutions and museums, iconic architecture, and some of the best restaurants in LA. It is conveniently located just minutes from Crypto.com Arena and L.A. Live.
This premier venue regularly hosts large-scale events, weddings, and brand experiences, and dedicated on-site security will be present throughout the weekend to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
For added convenience, paid on-site parking is located directly adjacent to the venue, making arrival and departure easy for guests who choose to drive.
Is the event open to the public? How will shoppers be brought in?
Yes, this is an open-to-the-public, ticketed shopping event designed to drive strong, intentional foot traffic throughout both days.
We are bringing in shoppers through a multi-channel approach, including:
- Targeted marketing campaigns across digital, social, and email channels
- Creator and community partnerships to drive local + regional attendance
- Poshmark in-app and owned audience promotion to reach active buyers
- Early access and awareness through seller, brand, and partner networks
- On-site programming (Activations, music, food + beverage for purchase, lounge spaces) designed to increase dwell time and keep shoppers engaged throughout the experience.
Is this event only for Poshmark sellers?
While the booths will feature only Poshmark sellers, the event is open to anyone who appreciates personal style and a good find as we want to expose sellers to as many shoppers as possible.
Whether you’re a longtime Posher, vintage collector, resale shopper, or just someone who enjoys discovering unique pieces, the experience is open to the broader fashion community.
What are the vendor benefits?
PoshFest is a unique opportunity to meet your buyers in person, build real connections, and promote your closet and brand in a way the app alone can’t replicate. As a vendor you can expect to:
- Sell directly to shoppers IRL and unlock new sales beyond the app
- Build brand awareness and loyal customers by putting a face to your closet
- Showcase curated inventory in a premium, boutique-style environment
- Create content and gain social visibility in a photo-worthy setting
- Connect face-to-face with shoppers, creators, stylists, and fellow sellers
- Immerse yourself in the LA fashion community
How much is a booth?
The cost of a 10 x 10 booth is $350.
What your booth includes:
Each booth is designed as a fully supported, ready-to-merchandise space within a curated, open-to-the-public shopping experience built to drive high foot traffic and real-time sales.
- A 10′ x 10′ booth footprint within a professionally produced marketplace environment, designed to be personalized so you can bring your unique style, brand, and inventory to life
- Two weekend vendor wristbands for full access across both event days
- Two rolling racks, hangers and two chairs
- More details will be provided to selected applicants
- Dedicated event security throughout load-in, event hours, and overnight
- Two tickets to the Posh Party event
- One parking pass per day for convenient arrival and load-in/out
- Inclusion in event marketing and vendor discovery channels to help drive shopper awareness and booth traffic
- A dedicated load-in window on October 1 (approximately 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
We encourage every vendor to make the space their own, showcase your personality, tell your style story, and create a shopping experience that feels authentically you while contributing to the energy and excitement.
What do I get for the 20% selling fee?
The 20% selling fee helps to deliver a smooth and frictionless seller and buyer experience at the event, including:
- On-site authentication for eligible items
- Payment processing through Poshmark’s checkout system
- Dedicated on-site Poshmark support throughout the event

This structure is designed to make selling as seamless as possible and keep the focus on connecting with shoppers and making sales in real time.

How are vendors selected?
Vendors will be thoughtfully curated based on their assortment, brand identity, inventory quality, and how well their overall aesthetic and point of view align with the market experience.
Can I share a booth with another seller?
Yes, you’re welcome to share a booth with another seller. Please submit only one application for your shared booth, and include your booth partner in your application video.
How much inventory should I bring?
We recommend bringing a minimum of 150 items onsite for the event for the 2 days. The more inventory you bring, the more opportunity you have to create a visually impactful booth and maximize sales throughout the weekend. We encourage vendors to bring a strong mix of sizes, price points, and standout pieces to keep shoppers engaged and encourage repeat browsing.
Can vendors customize their booth?
Absolutely. We encourage vendors to create visually engaging booth setups that reflect their brand, style, and inventory. Once selected, vendors will be provided with inspiration and tips to help their booth stand out.
Will clothing racks, tables, or fixtures be provided?
Each booth includes a 10×10 space, 2 rolling racks and hangers, with additional add-ons like signage, extra racks, and display elements available for an additional fee.
Are vendors responsible for processing payments?
Yes. In order to qualify for immediate fund release all transactions must be facilitated through the Poshmark app only. Vendors are required to have all inventory listed in their Poshmark closet prior to the event, and no offline or direct transactions will be permitted.
Per the Terms & Conditions, Poshmark reserves the right to remove any vendor or exhibit that violates event policies or engages in unprofessional conduct, without refund.
Will there be security?
Yes. Your fee covers security throughout the event and overnight security during event closure hours.
When will vendors know if they’ve been accepted?
Accepted vendors will be notified on a rolling basis after applications are reviewed.
Are there other ways to participate besides selling?
Yes. Poshfest is an opportunity to shop, discover new closets, connect with other members of the community, and support fellow sellers. While selling will be a key part of this year’s event, we recognize that it may not align with every seller’s business, goals, or location.
Whether you attend as a seller or guest, you’ll have the chance to explore the marketplace, meet other community members in person, and enjoy everything the event has to offer—from outdoor lounge spaces, food trucks, beverages available for purchase, music, and photo opportunities. There will be plenty of opportunities to connect, relax, and have fun! For those looking for even more community connection and celebration, there will also be a ticketed Posh Party event in addition to the market.
Our plan is to bring Poshfest to a different city each year, bringing the Poshmark experience live to buyers and sellers across the country.
What will the Posh Party include?
The Posh Party will be a ticketed community event on the evening of October 2—a chance to kick back, get together with friends (and meet new ones!), and keep the good vibes going after a day of shopping. Hosted by the Poshmark team and executives, it will be an evening of great music, good food, drinks, and the Poshmark community doing what it does best. More details coming soon—stay tuned!
Are shoppers required to purchase tickets?
Yes, shoppers will be required to purchase tickets. Ticketing details coming soon.
