AVAILABLE BOOTH LOCATIONS

There are both indoor and outdoor booth options and you may request your preference on the application. Fees are the same for both. There is a limited number of indoor spaces and they are filled on a first come, first served basis. Indoor spaces are APROX 9′ wide and 7-8′ deep depending on location.  Outdoor spaces are the size of a parking space.

ART PANELS

There are a limited number of spaces that will accommodate free-standing panels.  Artists must provide their own panels. If you are requesting an indoor booth with panels, you must indicate this on your application, as we can not change booth location assignments on the day of the event and not all spaces accommodate panels.

TENT CANOPIES AND WEIGHTS (OUTDOOR VENDORS ONLY)

All white tent canopies are required for this festival. No color deviation will be allowed, including both the canopy and sidewalls. Tent weights of 40lbs or more are required on each leg of your tent. Artists who fail to properly weight their tent will not be permitted to participate in the market and will not be reimbursed. There is no staking allowed on the grounds.

Outdoor vendors may set up their tent and tables on Thursday, April 4th from 2pm-4pm and load in merchandise on Friday, April 5th from 6:30am-9:15am. We ask that Outdoor vendors please wait until 2pm to give the Indoor vendors an hour to unload in front of the doors before the parking lot is blocked off.  Please note, security will not be provided on Thursday night, so it is not encouraged for outdoor vendors to load in merchandise on Thursday.
