Your booth shall not exceed the area paid for. This includes all storage space, support devices, weights, etc. used to stabilize your booth.
We are on a concrete boardwalk. All booths are 10’ deep and most are 10’ wide—a couple 10 X12 ($30 extra for craft, $55 for food, $90 for Commercial) but there is NO “wiggle room” as the booths are sandwiched between benches (which cannot be used for merchandise) or planters. There is NO storage area around your booth space. If you need more than the allotted space, please purchase an additional space.
If you want more room and if space is available at the time of your request, we can assign two spaces—just double the price.
