If you need more room, you must rent another space. There should be no more than 3 ft between the back of your booth and the railing or back wall. If your tent has a bottom-rear stabilizer bar you must situate your tent as close as possible to the rails, planters, etc. Staff will be on-site to advise on any tent placement questions. Attendance: please be present at all times during event hours. Only one vendor is allowed per rented space. Relocating your booth is strictly prohibited. This is an outdoor event. Please come prepared for all weather situations. NO REFUNDS will be given due to the weather conditions. Self-contained (propane or battery powered) heaters are welcome; electric heaters are not allowed due the excessive amperage drawn, thereby overloading the breakers.

All signage must be professionally printed and produced; no handwritten signage is allowed. A cleaning service is contracted at no additional charge to vendors to help dispose of trash throughout the event. However, food vendors are responsible for disposing of any remaining trash. Designated dumpsters are located on the Abercorn Street Ramp. Do not dispose of trash in River Street trash cans. Vendors are responsible for cleaning underneath their booth (plaza surface) during breakdown (i.e.: grease, oil, etc.) Per city regulation cleaning chemicals may not be used on River Street. In addition, no waste (food or otherwise) may be disposed of in any manner that may lead to run off into the river. Please clean equipment off premises.
