By encouraging artistic expression, promoting cultural exchange, and strengthening community bonds, we aim to inspire creativity and create a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of background or ability.
Major Updates for 2026
To make the festival more accessible, we have restructured our fees to give you more control over your costs:
- Lowered Base Fees: We have reduced our base registration fees by up to 20% for the 2026 season to support vendors who prefer to Bring Your Own (BYO) setup.
- Optional Table/Tent Rentals: We understand that transporting equipment in NYC can be a challenge. You now have the option to rent a 6ft folding table or 10x10 Tent directly through the application.
- Rental Note: Please be aware that due to significant price increases from our external rental partners, table/tent rental fees are higher this year. We encourage BYO setups to keep your personal costs as low as possible.
- Payment Flexibility: To allow for more flexibility, your rental costs will not be charged until the week of the event.
