Exhibitor FAQ

Can I only exhibit for one day?

No, we only book and sell space based on your attendance AND occupying your booth for the entire event.



Do I need my own insurance?

Not at this time. Any important info like this will be on the booking page for that particuar event.



Do I need a pop up tent?

Most of our shows, yes! One exception is Vero Beach beacuse you are under cover BUT it looks more professional and inviting to your customers if you are under a tent. 95% of exhibitors in Vero Beach still use a tent even though there is a roof over their head. It gives your area structure and looks good. A tent is highly recommended. Tents must be flame retardent as indicated on the tag or manufacturer info online and must be sturdy enough to handle gusty winds and to hold weights on it. There is no color restriction.



What is your policy for returned checks?

Returned checks must be paid with a money order, cashier's check or cash within 14 days after we contact you about it. An additional $25 returned check fee needs to also be included for each returned check. Failure to do so may result in legal action and you will be unable to participate in any shows until they are cleared. Multiple returned checks may also be subject to a cash only basis for future shows.



Can I bring my pets to a show?

We welcome both our artists/crafters and patrons to bring their dogs to our shows as long as your pet is friendly, well behaved, and kept on a leash. A lot of barking and you will be asked to remove your pet from the event.



Who's responsibility is it to collect sales tax?

You and it is your responsibility to inquire with the local department of revenue at each location of their requirements and sales tax rate.
