Noel Market at the Porterdale Christmas Parade Tickets

TERMS & CONDITIONS Weather — Rain, Cold or Shine The Noel Market at the Porterdale Christmas Parade will take place rain, cold, or shine. The historic Porter Memorial Gym & Village Event Center is a walled, open-air venue with no roof or overhead covering. While the surrounding walls create a unique enclosed setting, vendor spaces remain exposed to the elements from above. Vendors should come prepared for December temperatures, rain, wind, and changing weather conditions and are responsible for providing appropriate protection for themselves, their merchandise, and their displays. Event organizers reserve the right to delay opening, close early, modify event operations, or cancel the event if weather or other conditions become unsafe. ⛺ Vendor Setup & Equipment Your vendor fee covers space only. Vendors are responsible for bringing their own tables, displays, tents or canopies, seating, lighting if needed, and any other equipment necessary for their booth. Because the venue has no overhead covering, vendors are strongly encouraged to bring a tent or canopy appropriate for outdoor use. All tents and canopies must be properly secured, with all four legs individually weighted. Acceptable weights include commercial tent weights, securely filled water containers, or other heavy-duty weights securely attached directly to each tent leg. Vendors are responsible for ensuring that all tents, displays, signage, tables, racks, and other equipment are secure and appropriate for weather conditions. Approved Products & Vendor Categories YOU MAY ONLY SELL ITEMS OR PRODUCTS WITHIN THE CATEGORY FOR WHICH YOU WERE APPROVED. Products outside your approved category may not be displayed or sold without prior written approval from the event organizers. If a vendor displays items inconsistent with their approved category, they will first be asked to remove those items. Failure to comply may result in removal from the event and may affect eligibility for future events. Category space is intentionally limited to protect vendor exclusivity and create a balanced market experience. Handmade & Artisan Product Requirement The Noel Market is a curated artisan market. Products offered for sale must be handmade, created, designed, or produced by the approved vendor unless otherwise expressly approved by event organizers. Direct sales, MLM products, resale merchandise, and mass-produced goods are not permitted unless specifically approved in writing. Only foods that comply with applicable Georgia Cottage Food requirements may be sold as artisan vendor products. Food trucks, food tents, prepared-food vendors, and other food-service operations are not permitted unless expressly approved by event organizers and properly permitted for the event. Festive Fun Partners A limited number of spaces are available for approved local small businesses and nonprofit organizations to participate as Festive Fun Partners. Festive Fun Partners are not required to meet the handmade artisan product requirement. Instead, participating businesses and organizations must provide an approved Christmas-themed activity, experience, or engagement for children and families. Approved Festive Fun Partners may display signage, distribute appropriate promotional materials, share information about their organization, and connect with guests while providing their approved activity. Participation does not authorize the sale of products or services unless expressly approved in writing. All activities, displays, promotional materials, and methods of engagement must be approved by event organizers and remain subject to the safety, conduct, and family-friendly standards of the Noel Market. Non-Refundable Fees & Vendor Transfers All vendor fees are non-refundable.

If a transfer is approved: • A $15 transfer fee will apply • The replacement vendor must submit a complete application • The replacement vendor must pay any applicable application fee • The replacement vendor must be approved before the transfer is complete Approval is not guaranteed.
