What happens if it rains?

OUR EVENTS ARE USUALLY RAIN OR SHINE. IT IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL VENDOR TO SHOW UP. On the rare occasion that we must cancel, an email will be sent out to all vendors and it will be shared on our social media pages. Safety of our vendors and customers are our #1 priority. Please understand that, even if an event is cancelled, bills do still have to be paid, therefore vendor fee's are still nonrefundable/transferable. Unfortunately, this is out of our hands. Thank you for understanding.

What if I am unable to make it? Can I get a refund?

PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND LET THE MARKET COORDINATOR KNOW IF YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT.
