✦ All items must be clean & free of damage.

✦ Strictly no fast fashion, mass-produced goods, MLMs, or items from AliExpress/Temu/Shein/etc.

✦ No AI-generated "art" in any form or capacity - including your logos, display materials, posts, etc.

💸 Refunds & Transfers

✦ All vending fees are 100% non-refundable and non-transferable. Vendors are not permitted to transfer their booking to anyone else or to a future date.

✦ This applies regardless of circumstance. To keep things fair for everyone, we cannot make any exceptions.

🌦️ Weather

✦ This is a rain or shine event and there are no refunds due to bad weather.

✦ Outdoor vendors must be prepared for rain - bring a canopy. Canopies must be properly weighted (40 lbs per leg), and fit within the selected size footprint. Table spaces may share a larger canopy.

✦ In the event of dangerous weather, as determined solely by the event organizer, outdoor vendors will be moved indoors or offered a raincheck for a future event.

✦ Vendors who cannot attend for any reason will not receive a refund or credit.

✦ Vendors must bring everything they need: chairs, tables, racks, signage, canopies, etc.
