These are our most current event guidelines, terms, and conditions. They were written on January 20, 2024. As we grow and learn, these terms and conditions may be updated. Please check back here a few days prior to your event to ensure you have reviewed our most current event guidelines. We will do our best to keep any changes to a minimum throughout the season.

 

• Vendors must provide their own equipment ie: canopies, tables, chairs etc. The event will be held rain or shine, so canopies with walls are highly recommended. Canopies must have weights attached to them.

​

• Entire Vending Booth including canopy, products, and people must fit within the Vendor's assigned 10' x 10' space. 

​

• No electricity or running water is available. There is a restroom available for vendors only inside of Salon di Stile. Salon di Stile is wheelchair accessible.

​

• No Early Breakdown (unless discussed with Market staff). Leaving the event early without a good reason will result in disinvitation to participate in future events with no refund. Leaving early will also result in removal from The Market on 6th Ave’s Call List for free and discounted vendor spaces.

“A good reason” is defined by Event Staff on a case-by-case basis but includes family emergencies or any good, real reason one would need to leave a professional business event early. When a vendor leaves early, everyone else’s business is affected as well. Therefore, we greatly discourage our vendors from packing up early except in the case of a true emergency.

 

• Vendors are responsible for leaving the area in the same condition as they found it, leaving no trash or equipment when they leave. We do not provide trash service or dumpsters.

 

• Please refrain from indulging in intoxicating substances such as alcohol or illegal drugs while participating as a vendor at our events. Doing so will result in you being asked to leave without opportunity for any refunds.

 

• Being abusive toward any event staff, event volunteers, or other vendors will result in you being asked to leave without opportunity for any refunds. “Being abusive” includes but is not limited to physical threats, raising one’s voice, making hurtful remarks, damaging products or equipment, intentionally agitating other people, or otherwise causing a scene that does not match the vibe of a friendly craft fair. The definition of “abusive” is determined by event staff.

 

• We reserve the right to censor any products in any booth for any reason. Some reasons for censorship may include: lewd pornographic images (artistic images are okay, as determined by the event staff), defamatory or inflammatory messages, suggestion of or actual illegal activities, overt illegal drug references, copyright infringement. If your products include questionable images or materials, please inform the event staff in the “special notes” section of your application and/or registration forms so we can accommodate you appropriately.

 

• If you are asked to leave as a result of inappropriate behavior, you will not receive any refunds for the day's event nor for any future booked events, nor will you be allowed to participate in future events with our company.

 

• Booth-sharing is okay, but all products/services must be listed in the Vendor Registration Form or pre-approved by Market Staff (to prevent duplication of products in other booths).

 

• The Vendor will be responsible for any and all required permits, licenses, insurance, or taxes required by the city, county, state, or country.

 

• The Market on 6th Ave is permitted to take photographs of the booths and vendors and use these photographs for advertisement or promotion purposes.

 

• The Market on 6th Ave is permitted to link to the Vendor’s business profile page or website in advertising and promotion efforts for events which the Vendor is registered for. Similarly, the Vendor is permitted and encouraged to link to The Market on 6th Ave’s business profile page or website in their marketing efforts.

 

• Vendor understands filling out and submitting this form is a legal agreement to show up to said event. We are only able to have so many vendors and not showing up takes away from the whole event and prevents other vendors from being able to show their work. Please communicate in advance if you will be unable to attend a planned event or need to leave early from a planned event. A No-Call/No-Show will result in being disallowed from participation in the future. Vendor Fees may only be refunded up to seven (7) days (one full week) before the event due to an appropriately reported cancellation and request for refund. Cancellation of spaces in future events due to leaving early, not showing up, or being asked to leave are not subject to a refund.

 

• Once a Vendor is approved for a space in The Market on 6th Ave, they will receive an email from TheMarketon6thAve@gmail.com . The Vendor will then have 15 days to submit their payment of $35 per planned Market Day or else their reserved space will be made available for another vendor. Approved Vendors will be sent a link to a secure payment website and additional information about the event, as well as a confirmation email upon receipt of payment, and a reminder email a few days before their scheduled Market Day. 

​

• Foot traffic is usually very heavy on 6th Ave, especially in front of Salon di Stile. While we expect plenty of patrons to pass or stop by thanks to the many bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses that make up the culture of Hip & Historic 6th Ave, as well as to the efforts of our advertising/marketing team for these events, The Market on 6th Ave does not guarantee any amount of foot traffic or patronage to its vendors. As such, we will not provide any refunds of vendor fees for slow days, rainy days, or for any other reason.

​

• All decisions and determinations on the day of the event are ultimately up to the Event Staff and Host Vendor, and any further complaint or comment may be directed to the Event Director, Wendy Honeywell, via email or phone (253) 576-9093.

 

 

Learning Craft Fair Terms:

 

            The Market on 6th Ave is being marketed as a Learning Craft Fair. This means that patrons who come to The Market on 6th Ave will expect to learn something! Don’t worry, there’s no pressure on you to come up with an interactive craft tutorial for all ages for this event, but if you’d like to, we’d love it if you did!

Our Host Vendor, Somewhat Sacred Studios, will always have something planned to teach our attendees for each event, but the more vendors that participate in our Learning Craft Fair, the more fun it is for everyone! You can prepare informational handouts, write a short lesson plan, sell DIY kits, explain your process, or even craft performatively… anything you want to do to share information and encourage interest in your craft, please do! And yes, you are more than welcome to turn your entire spiel into a sales pitch if you want 😉

This is our way of standing out among the many other craft fairs in the area, encouraging healthy hobbies in our community, and building a relationship with our potential customers. This can be your moment to shine or a great excuse to sit quietly and crochet all day – it’s entirely up to you! Participation in some form or another is highly encouraged, but not mandatory.

If you have something big planned, please inform event staff by email ( themarketon6thave@gmail.com ) so we can position your booth in a premium space or make other special accommodations.
