Calling all creators, sellers and food lovers! Nakamarket 2026 vendor registration is officially open. Our summer festival returns on Sunday, 6 December 2026, at Moto Republik in Harare. So if you want a stall at Zimbabwe’s ultimate pop culture expo, now is the time to apply.
Why Sell at Nakamarket?
Nakamarket brings together a crowd that loves anime, manga, J-pop, gaming and every kind of pop culture. In addition, the festival welcomes families looking for a fun day out. As a result, vendors get to meet a passionate and diverse audience in one place.
Last year, the festival buzzed from start to finish. Visitors shopped, snacked and played traditional Japanese games all day long. This year, we expect the same energy, and we want your stall to be part of it.
Stall Categories and Fees
We welcome a wide range of vendors. Here are the stall types and fees for Nakamarket 2026:
- Craft: $25
- Comic Book Artist: $25
- Merch: $25
- Food: $40
- Entertainment: price available upon request
- Corporate Activation: price available upon request
Of course, food vendors are a must, because no summer festival is complete without good food.
Apply Early: Stalls Are Limited
Space at Moto Republik is limited. Therefore, we can only accept a set number of vendors. Once every stall is taken, registration closes. For that reason, we strongly encourage you to apply as early as possible.
Early applications also give our team more time to plan the layout with you. Plus, you’ll have longer to prepare your stock, décor and promotions. Applications will need to be supported by full confirmation once engagements with our vendor team starts
Go Cashless with Dibs
Anyone who has run a market stall knows the struggle with change. That’s why we’ve partnered with Dibs, a cashless payments platform. With Dibs, customers can pay quickly without hunting for exact notes. Meanwhile, vendors spend less time counting coins and more time selling. Ultimately, transactions become smoother for everyone at the festival.
How to Complete Your Nakamarket Vendor Registration
Getting started is simple. First, fill in the vendor application form. Next, tell us about your shop, what you sell and whether you need power. After you apply, our team will call you to confirm your stall fee and any extras, such as a table cloth or name board. Finally, once we approve your application, you’ll receive an invoice with payment details.

Don’t leave it to the last minute. Instead, apply now and join us for an unforgettable day of pop culture, food and festival fun.
