Important Application & Waitlist Information

All applications submitted after February 25, 2027 at 5:00pm will automatically be placed on the waitlist — no exceptions. As accepted vendors are placed, payments are processed, and additional booth spaces become available, we will notify waitlisted applicants as soon as possible if we are able to offer them a spot.

If you miss the application deadline, you may still submit your information, but it will go directly to the waitlist.

Please note:

• Applications submitted to the waitlist after February 25, 2027 will not be reviewed by the jury and are not guaranteed consideration for acceptance.
• Jury-evaluated applications will be given priority on the waitlist. Only once all juried applications have been placed will we consider non-juried waitlist submissions.
• Application fees are non-refundable, including for late applicants and those placed on the waitlist.
• Notification of your application status will be sent by March 26, 2027, at 5:00 p.m. for applications submitted by February 25, 2027, at 5:00 p.m. Applications received after this deadline will be placed on the waitlist, and applicants will be contacted only if space can be offered.

For accepted vendors with complete applications, including required permits and insurance, payment will be processed on April 9, 2027. Vendors with incomplete applications will have until April 30, 2027, to submit missing materials, pay vendor fees, and secure their spot. Accepted vendors who do not meet this deadline will forfeit their reserved space and be moved to the waitlist.
