Event Registration / Applications
Any vendor can directly register for events. You will receive a confirmation email along with a receipt for your purchase immediately after, if you do not, please first check your junk folders and then contact us via the support center.
All events are first-come, first-served. Please contact us with questions before registering as these purchases are non-refundable. The cost depends on the category and will always be listed on the event page.
If a ticket category is sold out, it means we are not accepting vendors, please do not attempt to circumvent these restrictions by registering under another category.
Setup Times
Generally, setup time is 3 hours BEFORE the event start time with a 1-hour gap. Ex: If the event time starts at 12, setup would be 9-11.
Visit the help page of your event in the support center for exact specific times.
Booth Setup
We do not provide ANY items for your booth. This includes electricity, water, furniture, and tents.
Vendor Meetings
There is an online meeting emailed to all attendees the week of the event. This is your last chance to ask questions before your event date. These meetings go over parking, setup, any special requirements, and are mandatory for your success at the Shoppes.
All food truck/trailer vendors are required to hold appropriate legal permits for operating a mobile food truck. This includes a mobile food vendor permit and commercial insurance.
Some cities, including Clearwater, require a separate inspection sticker to operate, you are required to meet this qualification in order to vend in these cities.
Portable generators shall be positioned so that the exhaust is at least 5 ft (1.5 m) in any direction away from any openings, air intakes, means of egress, or from any building, structure, or vehicle.
Are there assigned vendor spaces at the market?
Spaces at the market are assigned at the time of arrival. Arriving during your event setup time (and the earlier the better) will ensure you get a spot you are happy with. Please arrive between the designated setup time!
How much does it cost to be a vendor?
The cost to be a vendor varies by location and type of vendor. Generally, it costs between $35-180 but the event signup page will have the exact cost.
What is the size of the vendor space?
Each vendor space is no larger than 10x10. We do not allow tents larger than that.
Anything larger than 10 x 10 will have to pay for a second space (excluding food trucks/trailers).
What is the transfer / refund / cancellation policy?
Refunds
We do not offer refunds on booth registrations.
The no refund policy includes incidents due to weather, transportation, or personal issues.
You are required to agree to this policy before checkout.
Transfer Eligibility
To transfer to another event, you MUST notify Saturday Shoppes at least 3 days before the event date. This notice must be in the form an email to: [email protected]
We allow registrations to be transferred to future events at the same registration cost in the same calendar year for no fee. Transfers can only occur once, missing a transferred date forfeits the registration.
Transfers are subject to approval and space availability.
Cancelations / Postponements
If an event is announced to be canceled, a makeup date will be given to all those registered for the cancelled date.
Similarly, if an event is postponed, a new date will be sent out for a rollover.
The option of a transfer is given if the new date does not fit into your schedule. You must open a ticket or email support and notify us of the requested date. The date is not approved until the help desk confirms and transfers your registration.
What is provided with a booth?
Simply: nothing. We provide the space. You bring water, tent, electricity, chairs, tables, whatever it is you need for your booth.
Step 2: Register
Select an event location at the time and place that fits your schedule.
Event Registration / Applications
There is no application process to register for an event, once you have paid you are in. We will contact you directly if there are any issues.
Make sure you receive your receipt and QR code through the email you used to register.
Vendor Directory
The directory is optional and not part of your event registration. Often, customers ask if they can find vendors after an event, so we built our vendor directory with that in mind. It's a free place to post about your business!
Vendor Meetings
The Thursday before your event date there is a vendor meeting. This is highly recomended for all vendors and is the best place to ask questions and learn about any information for vendors.
