Vendor FAQs

Question

Is there electricity outside for outdoor vendors?

Answer

Electricity outside is limited. You may put in your application that you require electricity, but only a few outdoor vendors will have access.

Question

I'm an outdoor vendor with a vehicle or trailer set-up. Can I be included?

Answer

This depends on many factors, including venue limitations so please email retropolitancraft@gmail.com for specifics. All vehicles and trailers will need to be able to drive over the curb at the venue to pull onto the sidewalk in the courtyard so please plan accordingly.

Question

I'm an outdoor vendor. Will people know I'm here?

Answer

All vendors are promoted on our social media and doors are left open to encourage shoppers to visit both indoor and outdoor vendors. Customers shop inside and outside, even during the winter fair.

Question

Will electricity and Wi-Fi by available?

Answer

Electricity is limited to certain booths and is an additional $25 fee. Please note whether you require electricity when submitting your application. The venue does provide Wi-Fi.

Question

What comes with my booth if I am selected to be a vendor?

Answer

A booth space will be taped off according to the measurements of the booth in your vendor acceptance email (either 8x6 or 10x10). Vendors should bring their own display, tent, chair and set-up. To inquire about additional items, please email questions retropolitancraft@gmail.com.

Question

What is the vendor cancellation policy?

Answer

Vendor application fees are non-refundable. Once a booth space has been paid for and reserved, a vendor may cancel one time and have their booth fee applied to a future fair if Retropolitan Craft Fair is given two weeks notice, and is able to replace with another vendor before the fair. Booth fees for any future cancellations will not be rolled forward or refunded

Question

What does juried mean?

Answer

Each application is evaluated by all members of the Retropolitan Craft Fair team. Applications are reviewed with attention to quality, originality, cohesive branding, price point, and best fit with the fair and our patrons. Priority is also given to ensuring we have a variety of high quality vendors that compliment rather than compete with one another.
