• 2025 Rules and Regulations

    In Order to Register for this year's event, you must sign and return this form first. If we do not receive the signed rules form, your application will be denied.

  • Weather and Cancellations: 

    Every year we do our best to give you the two best days possible to sell your items on the boardwalk. We watch the weather closely and make our decision based on multiple forecasts and factors. We DO NOT want to receive emails or phone calls from vendors with their opinion of the weather, which day is better, or anything to do with which day is picked. They are not used to determine what is done for the event as we have to do what is best for all vendors, not what a couple of you think is best. Thank you in advance for your understanding, and we will watch these things very closely as the events are approaching. 

     

    Goods Sold By Vendors:

    This year we will be taking our time to look at each and every vendor's items more closely. We have seen several people selling things that are very obviously not handmade or homemade. There is NO RESALE of other brands , even if you are putting them in gift baskets. All items are to be made by the vendor selling them. If you are denied, and you disagree with our decision, we will give you a chance to show the items are made by you, but will most likely deny anything you cannot show is without a doubt made by you or your employee.
