GYPSYMOON MARKETPLACE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is GypsyMoon Marketplace?
GypsyMoon Marketplace is a barn sale that takes place on our family farm in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Majority of the vendors are located inside of our equine training facility-turned-event space, Highland Stables. The handpicked vendors design and curate striking exhibits inside each of the stables, showcasing some of the best handmade pieces, antique wares, rustic home decor, and much more!
How did GypsyMoon Marketplace start?
GypsyMoon Marketplace started with Angie Mosley. Angie really loves decor, unique items, and anything antique/vintage. She had the dream of hosting her own barn sale and mentioned her dream to her daughter-in-law, Whitnee Mosley. With Whitnee’s can-do attitude and Angie’s dream, GypsyMoon was born and held on their family horse farm for the first time in 2015.
What is a barn sale?
A barn sale takes place either on a farm, in or around a barn. It can be described as an upscale vintage/handmade marketplace. The vendors and artisans are hand selected and screened to ensure that each vendor is top notch. Once they are selected, they spend weeks pickin’, preppin’ and preparin’ for the upcoming sale. They don’t just set up a booth; they design, decorate and stage each stall with eye-catching displays that will draw you in to shop.
How often do you host GypsyMoon Marketplace?
Bi-Annually! GypsyMoon started Fall 2015 and has been held every April and November since. (minus the 2020 Spring)

Being on a farm in the county, is not ideal, but some vendors will try to make it work. We ALWAYS recommend having cash on you.

Oh yes! We also have golf carts that will pick you up and make your parking experience easier. You can thank our friends at Life’s Better Together for that :)
Will there be food?
Absolutely! We have food trucks, pies, pretzels, donuts, cookies, and wine tasting!
Stroller/Dog friendly?
Pets on a leash are welcomed, as are children (haha! totally kidding). An umbrella stroller or carrier may be best because it will be smaller and easier to maneuver. All of the stalls and back barn are mulch, so strollers may be a little tough to maneuver in those areas. Kids 12 and under are FREE!!

Dress with comfy shoes, a large shopping tote and cash is always king.
