Weather Policy
This is a rain-or-shine event. Due to Florida's rapidly changing weather conditions, event organizers will not make cancellation decisions prior to the day of the event. If rain is expected before the scheduled opening time, setup may be delayed to allow vendors and attendees to enjoy a reasonable portion of the market. If rain is expected later in the event, the market will typically proceed as scheduled.
Weather-related operational decisions will be made based on real-time conditions and communicated to vendors as needed.

Refund Policy
Vendor fees are non-refundable.
No refunds or credits will be issued unless the event organizer cancels the event.
Vendor withdrawal, weather concerns, scheduling conflicts, or other circumstances do not qualify for refunds or credits.
