What if I have to cancel after I send in my application? Can I get a refund on my vendor space?
There will be no refunds. There are no refunds on the $5 application processing fee. You may not sell your space to another vendor if you have to cancel. We must jury and approve all vendors before they can participate in the show. We may have a waiting list that we can fill a vendor in. Future credit for shows will be determined on a case by case basis.

Why do you require a Seller’s Permit?
When you sell merchandise in California, even on a temporary basis, you are required to have a Seller’s Permit from the Board of Equalization (BOE). It's the law in California. There is no charge for a Seller’s Permit.  If you do not have one already, you can apply for a temporary permit.  Temporary permits are issued in order to participate in events like ours.  Here’s a link to a PDF document from the BOE.  It has a lot of information.  Don’t forget to bring your permit with you on the day of the event!

Why are you charging fees? What is the money used for?
The fees for this event will be paid to the North Park Main Street Association

Is it OK to share a space with a friend?
Of course!  Sharing is fine. Only two vendors maximum are allowed to share a single space.   We require that you submit info. for both sellers on their own application. Please list your sharing buddy on your application. One of the two vendors has to pay for the full space. You may not add an another vendor after your application has been submitted. Sorry, we cannot help you find a vendor to share with for this show.

What time is vendor set up?  Do I need to get there early?
We will send out information to vendors one week before the event.

What time does the Mistletoe Market start?
The event will start at 3pm.  We ask that you have your area set up and ready to go by that time so that you can start selling right away.

Can I bring my own table/chairs?
Yes, please bring your own setup. You will be responsible to provide what you need to setup, i.e. Awning, tables, chairs, display stands etc.

Can I bring my own snacks to eat during the event?
Yes. You may bring things to eat/drink as long as they are for your own consumption. Just make sure that any coolers fit under your table out of the way. If you want to pick up something on the day of the event there are many eateries all over North Park and within walking distance.

Should I bring a table cover?
Yes, please.  We would like to have the tables covered so that everything looks neat and pretty.  Covers help to hide boxes and other supplies under your table.
