Setup, Breakdown and General Info:
1. On February 8th, the Monthly Market runs from 1pm to 6pm at Novo Brazil Brewing in Imperial Beach. The event will consist of around 20 local artists and crafters. All vendors will be outdoors.
2. Load in time starts at 11am and ends at 12:30pm. You will need to either find street parking or park in the lot next to the venue to unload and move your car after. Once you sign the form and send payment, we will send you a follow up email with your booth number and load in instructions.
3. It is family friendly and dog friendly.
4. Vendors will be provided with a 6x4 space outdoors. If your setup is larger than your allotted area it will impede into the adjacent booth and we will not be able to accommodate you. You will need to bring your own table, chair, and any other equipment needed for your display. If you wish to bring additional lighting it will need to be battery operated, there is no access to electricity. Lighting on the patio is limited. There are no walls to hang your work on so bring your own stands. Tents are not allowed.
5. Breakdown starts at 6pm. You are responsible for cleaning up your booth space so please don’t leave anything behind including trash. Once you are all packed up please check in with one of our coordinators before you leave. If you break down and leave before that, we will not ask you back to future events as it not only disrupts the flow, but negatively affects the vendors around you. If something comes up and you have to leave early please let one of our coordinators know before leaving.
