Vending Fees
We try to keep our vending fees reasonable, and love to feature a wide variety of merchandise for our shoppers!
50% deposits are recommended EARLY to reserve your space, and all vending fees must be paid by August 1, 2008.
Single Table
$55, includes one 36" x 8' table with chairs behind it. This is great for a smaller vendor or for those who like to display their wares in front of them on a table. Includes a listing in the vendor directory in our event program.
Half Table
$35, includes half of a 36" x 8' table. You'll be sharing the table with another vendor. You can have a table-mate picked out already or let us match you up with someone. Includes a listing in the vendor directory in our event program.
10'x10' Space
$90, rectangular or circular tables may be rented seperately for $10 each (for the weekend). Racks, gazebos, and tables are all welcome, although please try to cover metal bases - the Community Center does not allow metal-to-floor contact on the gym floor. We'll have tape and little mats you can use if you forget to plan for this. Includes a listing in the vendor directory in our event program.
Sales Tax & Business Licenses:
- The City of Arcata requires that all vendors apply for and purchase a $20 business license for those selling their merchandise within city limits. An application will be enclosed in your vendor packet. Be sure to have your permit with you, as this event is in a city building and city officials like to come to events to make sure everyone has their paperwork in order!
- You are responsible for keeping your own records and paying the required sales tax to the Franchise Tax Board.
