Important Information:
1. REGISTRATION
Registration Day: Friday, April 12th at 12pm
All links to purchase tables will go live at 12pm on Friday, April 12th. Please remember to refresh the page!
We highly recommend looking at the floor plan on our website ahead of time and making note of at least 5 table choices before registration opens up. We believe tables are going to fill up quickly. If your table options fill up before you are able to register, rest assured that there really isn't a bad seat in the house!
We also strongly recommend having your credit card ready! Sometimes tables get snatched up as people are typing in their credit card information.
NEW POLICY: REFUND POLICY & CANCELLATION DEADLINE - Please read:
We regret to inform you that we will not be issuing refunds for table fees unless we can find someone else to take your spot.
We understand that circumstances can change and cancellations may become necessary. If you decide to cancel your participation, please do so by Wednesday, May 1st.
The decision to implement this policy is based on the challenges we've faced in the past with participants reserving multiple tables only to cancel at the last minute. These cancellations have made it difficult for us to fill empty tables causing a disservice to both our vendors and the overall community spirit of the market. We believe that a successful market relies on a diverse range of makers and their products - attracting audiences from various communities.
We kindly ask all vendors to be thoughtful and certain about their table selection. As the event draws near, it becomes increasingly challenging for us to keep track of table changes. The preparations leading up to the market demand our team's full attention and we appreciate your cooperation in minimizing any confusion.
If you're considering a table swap with another vendor, please coordinate directly with one another. Again, managing table changes can become chaotic especially as the event date approaches.
