Booth Assignment

In making any determination in this regard Broadway Square Management considers the following:
- Vendor electricity needs
- Other special requests of vendors

Cancellation Policy
- Vendors who cannot attend the Spring Makers Market after completing the acceptance process must contact Broadway Square Management at least 1 week prior to the Spring Makers Market event (by May 14, 2021) to inform event producers. Violators are reconsidered for placement in following years.
- To be eligible to receive a refund of fees, vendors must notify Broadway Square Management of their cancellation in writing by May 14, 2021. Notices received after that point forfeit all registration fees.
- These cancellation policies may be modified based on on-going health guidelines.
Vendor Practices
We ask that you do not use aggressive sales tactics with the Spring Makers Market attendees. Each vendor is designated a set space for your setup and we do not tolerate the hustling of any attendees. We want to show the community the creative and unique pieces each vendor makes and create a welcoming, inclusive and respectful environment that creates event success and enjoyment for all.
- The Spring Makers Market does not enforce a pricing policy, but vendors should price products at fair market value and not undercut other vendors at the event.
- All vendors should represent themselves in an appropriate manner, dress and state of cleanliness. Shirt, shoes and mask must be worn at all times.
- Neither the vendor nor their representatives may be impaired by alcohol, marijuana or any illegal substances at any time while in the park's premises. This includes our no smoking policy (including electronic cigarettes and vaping products).
- All vendors agree to abide by fair business practices.
- In alignment with the best health/food safety practices, vendors are not to bring animals if they are selling food products. Broadway Square Management reserves the right to ask the owner of an animal to leave.
- Vendors can have animals at their booth if they are not a distraction to other booths around you.
- Vendors must follow leash ordinances at all times
- Broadway Square and the Spring Makers Market are committed to maintaining an environment of respect, tolerance, inclusion and empathy. In keeping with this commitment, we do not tolerate unlawful harassment of our employees, vendors or guests at the show. Harassment of any sort, whether verbal, physical or visual, that is based on a person’s race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation or disability is not allowed.
