Booth Fee and Information
The event will be held each weekend from April 16 to May 29 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day outdoors at Belmont Park in Mission Bay, 3146 Mission Blvd, San Diego, CA 92109.
We will have 20 participating vendors each day.
The one-day booth fee is $35 and 10% of net sales. You will pay the $35 vendor fee now upon registering (non-refundable for any circumstance.) The 10% will be collected by the venue at the end of the day via credit card payment.
The booth fee covers a 10’ x 10’ outdoor space.
Tables/chairs/tents will NOT be provided. White tents are preferred, and you may want to bring sandbags in case the ocean winds pick up!
No wall space or electrical outlets are available.
Here is a map of general booth locations around the venue.
PLEASE NOTE: All vendor fees are 100% non-transferable or refundable for any reason. No exceptions.
Please note, that jewelry vendors may ONLY sign up under the jewelry category. If you sign up for another category, we will cancel your participation. We must ensure a variety of vendors which is why there is a cap on jewelry spots.
If you cancel your spot without giving notice, no-show, or show up late, we may revoke your future dates (if you have signed up for any.) We rely on vendors to be on-site and on time as we have an agreement with Belmont Park to ensure their spots are filled, so please make sure you are considerate of this and other vendors who would love to take the available space.
Vendor Criteria
All vendors must have an established business and online presence in the form of an Instagram/social media account and/or website/selling profile.
Vendors must make or curate quality handmade products with a clear and consistent branding. Absolutely no MLM or resellers (quality vintage resellers may be permissible.)
If for any reason a registered vendor does not meet our criteria, you will be notified and a full refund will be provided. If you would like to ask us if you fit the criteria before registering, please email your photos/links to events@sandiegomade.org.
Load-in/Load-out
Set-up each day will be from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Vendors will be able to pull up to an entrance nearest their booth space to unload and will be given that location before the event. Parking on-site is generally ample and free, but we suggest getting there early to ensure you are able to park nearby after set-up.
ALL booths must be 100% set-up and all vendors must have all their wagons, boxes, dollys, etc. out of the park no later than 10:30 a.m. each morning, otherwise, they will forfeit their booth space for the day. No exceptions.
Break-down will be from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day and vendors will not be permitted to break down early. Unfortunately, no items may be left up overnight.
