Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. How does Early Bird pricing work?  

   By submitting your payment now, you are locking in the Early Bird rate. In January, when the application process opens, you will receive a voucher or discount code to officially register and select your booth on the vendor map.

2. When will I receive my voucher or discount code?  

   You will receive the discount code when the application process begins in January 2025.

3. Does submitting payment guarantee me a booth?  

   No, submitting payment now locks in the Early Bird price, but booth approval will only be confirmed once the application process begins in January. At that time, your application will be reviewed, and booths will be assigned.

4. What happens if I miss an event?  

   If you need to miss an event, you can pay a $75 date change fee to switch to another Shop Black Fest event within the same calendar year, subject to availability.

5. Is the payment for the whole tour or just one city?

  Each city requires its own payment. If you would like to sign up for the whole tour, change the quantity to 8 on the checkout page.
