Additional Info
The vendor will provide own 10’ x 10’ white canopy and tables. Uptown Farmers Market does not provide white canopies. Each canopy is required to have 25 lb. weights to ensure tents are anchored securely. Canopies and displays should be in good repair, clean, and attractive. Please see Market Guidelines. Volunteers will be available at the market to help set up and dismantle. Please check if you need access to electricity. 110v electricity is available at the market when approved in advance by Market Management. The vendor will need to bring their own heavy-duty outdoor extension cords, with an adequate number of mats/runners to cover and reduce the possibility of tripping hazards. Market Management must approve all electrical equipment.
Please let us know other markets you are planning to sell in
