Terms and Conditions:

Event Application & Acceptance: Due to the high number of applications, only successful applicants will be notified.  We encourage interested vendors to apply early! Please ensure you are available for the market(s) you have selected before submitting applications. Successful vendors will be notified with a copy of the vendor contract and an invoice once confirmed. If your booking payment & contract are not received when due, your spot will be immediately released and given to the next applicant on the waiting list. Please note that vendor acceptance is not based on the order of application, but on the best fit for the market.
Refunds: Since your fee is directly applied towards hosting the event, cancellations made more than 46 days before the market date will receive a refund of 50%. We are unable to offer refunds for cancellations made less than 45 days before the market. Selling your spot to another vendor without approval is also prohibited. Market Commitment: Upon acceptance of joining as a market vendor, you agree to operate your booth for the duration of the event. Early takedowns will result in a $50 fine for the first instance, and in the case of a second instance, the vendor will be removed from all future events with no refunds.
Insurance: Due to the changing landscape event regulations, we now require market vendors to carry liability insurance. If you don't have insurance, we can connect you with our preferred broker to help you find a policy that suits your needs and budget.
