Vendor Resources
Everything you need to prepare, show up, and sell out — from setup guides and permit checklists to marketing tips and best practices.
Arrive Early
Setup begins 2 hours before gates open. Early arrival means better placement and time to troubleshoot.
Bring Change
Even with card readers, many shoppers pay cash. Bring at least $100 in small bills and coins.
Engage Actively
Vendors who greet passersby and explain their products sell 3x more than those who sit quietly.
