About Food In Motion
In 2013, Atlantic Studios created Food In Motion; South Florida's first night time food & artisan market. Featuring a lineup of food trucks, green market vendors, and retail booths, it was an instant hit, and clearly filled a gap that locals sought after. After successfully hosting the first artisan & vendor markets in Flagler Village (Fort Lauderdale's arts district), Atlantic Studios opted to relocate the event to Flagler Village; establishing a second Friday of the month format. Food In Motion has called Peter Feldman Park (and surrounding streets) home since 2014.
Featuring a closed off street lined with quality food trucks, an incredible lineup of gourmet prepared food & greenmarket purveyors, plus plenty of art, craft, & boutique shopping through the park, Food In Motion remains a favorite!
Food In Motion was paused in March 2020, due to the pandemic. After much anticipation, Atlantic Studios is excited to restart this defacto event!

5. SPACE GUIDELINES AND AMENITIES
• Vendors may begin setup as early as 4pm.
• Atlantic Studios provides power connection, running throughout tented areas. Power is provided as a courtesy, and free of charge for vendors to use for (and only for) LED lighting, phone chargers, and very low powered needs. Power from park & ASI generators cannot be used for cooking equipment, proofing chests, craft machinery, or any high powered devices. Vendors requiring the use of high wattage items will need to consult with our staff and if approved, can provide their own maintained and silent inverter/generators. The consistency of courtesy power cannot be guaranteed and vendors are expected to have a backup battery option, should access or availability of power sources fail.
• Atmospheric evening lights are available throughout the event area, though vendors are required to provide their own lighting within booth space.
• All setup materials are the vendors responsibility, including but not limited to: tents, tables, chairs, tablecloths, decor, extension cords, tent weights, etc.
• Vendors must provide a tent with 10-15 pounds of proper weight support on each leg.
• "Boardwalk" tents (NE 6th Street) must be aligned with one another, leaving ample walkway space for attendees. A portion of the back of tent may be inset in grass behind sidewalk, to accomodate for walking pathway. ASI staff will be onsite to assist with proper placement.
• "Parkside" tents will be set inline, at the edges of the grass, with a paved sidewalk for attendee strolling. Some areas of park may not be fully level, and vendors should expect to adjust tent & table legs for leveling space.
• All tents must be lined up directly touching one another, with no gaps in between.
• All vendors are expected to clean up after themselves, including but not limited to: personal trash or public trash resulting from their products; zip ties; and setup materials.
• Peter Feldman Park does not have its own parking lot, therefore, vendors must park in a legal and secure area offsite. Vendors may quickly unload from streetside parking spaces, and/or our blockaded area of NE 6th Street.
6. ITEM DESCRIPTION
All aspects of what you intend to sell need to be generally addressed on this application form. Since we want to showcase an array of different items, vendors are chosen specifically based upon their applications.

8. PRESENTATION
Booth presentation is extremely important for this event. Presentation sets the tone of a market, and we want to exemplify quality, uniqueness and value. Plainly put, we intend for this show to be a signature event that shoppers talk about and want to come back to, again and again. It is expected that each vendor will have the proper displays to maintain a clean, organized and professional looking booth.
9. FOOD HANDLING & REQUIREMENTS
• Food Vendors are responsible for all utensils, napkins, etc. needed for their items, as well as cleanup and trash removal.
• Vendors that are not cooking food on premise are expected to meet safety standards and follow cottage law requirements. It is the responsibility of vendors to take these actions; the organizers of Food In Motion (Atlantic Studios, Inc.) & the venue hold no responsibility over vendors products.
• Vendors cannot sell items that contain false or unproven claims.
• Vendors preparing products onsite, especially those cooking with grease or fire, must have the necessary products and staffing to prevent, manage, and clean any stains or spills. Vendors leaving grease or char stains on sidewalks will forfeit their ability to return.
10. ACCEPTANCE:
We base our decisions not only on quality, but also how many vendors have similar items. We will strive to maintain a sense of exclusivity on certain products, and limit the amount of vendors in each category. Atlantic Studios aims to limit vendors selling similar goods, and will approve booths based on what we deem appropriate for our projected audience expectations.
11. RESPONSE
Please be patient as it may take us some time to get through our vendor applications.
13. HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS
For the safety of all, endors are asked to follow some health & safety protocols:
• Hand Sanitizer provided by you, at your booth and available for customer use.
• Regular sanitization at your booth, where possible (i.e. wiping down surfaces and products that have been handled, sanitizing card reader after each use, etc.)
Thank you for your interest! Hope to see you at the show!
