Information and Policies
*
Application Timeline: Applications are reviewed and determined within two weeks of submission. Applications are not accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis
Application Process: Applications are carefully considered and accepted or denied based on the quality of the goods (s) being sold. Should a category (i.e.: candles, macrame, jewelry, etc.,) become full prior to the applicant’s submission, The Makers Boulevard has the right to deny the application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to provide realistic examples of their work via photos posted to social media, a website, or through email.
To provide an exclusive shopping experience and uphold the integrity of shopping at The Makers Boulevard and other neighboring businesses, The Makers Boulevard has the right to deny an applicant whose product is being sold at a nearby brick-and-mortar establishment.
Display Requirements: A white 10x10 canopy, with weights, is required. If you use a table in your display, please be advised that a floor-length table covering(s) is mandatory.
Cancellations: There are no refunds given for participant cancellations after submission of the booth fee. If you’d like to request a *change of date after payment submission, you must do so at least four weeks prior to the market. All rollover requests require a completed application and an acceptance notification for the date of choice. Once the four-week window has expired, participants will forfeit their booth fee in its entirety.
*Date changes will result in a $25 fee.
Weather: All events are held in light rain or shine. Date change requests due to weather will be considered on a case-by-case basis and must be submitted at least 72 hours in advance of the market date. Should The Makers Boulevard be canceled due to bad weather or poor air quality, booth fees will be rolled over to the rescheduled event date, or a credit will be applied to your business for use at a future event -- Note, participants must complete the application process for their date of choice.
Booth location: The location of your booth will be determined one week prior to the event. Please be aware that The Makers Boulevard has the right to extend the market footprint beyond the Oak Street road closure (either in City Park or nearby). All booth requests are carefully reviewed and determined upon submission.
