FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When is the Holiday Bazaar?

The Holiday Bazaar is a two-day event:
Friday November 29 12pm-6pm
Saturday November 30 10am-6pm

 

Vendors are expected to be open for the full show on both days.

What are the booth location options?

We offer 3 types of booth location, they are: 
1. Indoor 8′ x 6′ (in banquet hall)
2. Vendor Tent 10′ x 8′ (back yard)
3. Outdoor 10′ x 10′ (unenclosed, back yard)

For all booth types, the longer side is the customer-facing side, the shorter side is the depth of the booth.

How much does a booth cost?

Indoor booths: $175
Tent booths: $150
Outdoor booths: $100

What is the difference between outdoor tent and outdoor spaces?

There will be a large party tent set up in the back yard of the hotel behind the banquet hall.

Outdoor Tent spaces will be located inside this tent, which can be fully enclosed if the weather calls for it. Outdoor Tent vendors do not need to provide their own canopy.

 

Outdoor spaces will be in the backyard of the hotel outside of the tent. Outdoor vendors will need to provide their own canopy.

How do I get a booth?

To reserve a booth space, click on the “submit vendor application” link and complete the form. Once the form has been submitted, you will be able to add the booth type you want to reserve to your cart, and checkout using a credit card. 

 

If a booth type does not show up on the application page, that means that booth type is sold out. We do not have a waitlist for indoor spaces.

Please note, vendors may only purchase ONE booth. Multiple booths are not available due to limited space.

What utilities are available?

There are a limited number of indoor spaces with access to electricity. Electric booth spaces are first come, first served. To request electric access, email bazaar@millsparkhotel.com after submitting your application.

Outdoor tent and outdoor spaces do not have access to electricity.

Is this a juried event?

No, it is not a juried event.

However, in order to provide the greatest variety for our customers, we are restricting the number of similar vendors that we accept. All applications will also be reviewed to ensure that they meet the requirement of only offering handmade items. 

Do you allow direct sales, passthrough, or vintage resellers?

All items sold must be handmade. Premade items that have been modified, upcycled, or otherwise significantly changed (i.e. jeans which have been embroidered or painted) are considered to be handmade and are permitted.

Applications from vendors who resell items, including direct sales, passthrough sales, or repackaged items, without significant alteration or modification will be declined. 

What happens if my application is declined?

If we have already accepted the maximum number of similar vendors, you will receive notification by email and your booth registration fees will be fully refunded.

If it is determined that the vendor doesn’t meet the requirements of the event (such as resale or direct sale vendors), the applicant would be notified by email that their application was denied as well as the reason, and their booth fee payment will be refunded less a $25 administration fee. 

When is setup?

Setup begins 2 hours before the bazaar opens. Vendors may arrive at 10 am on Friday and 8 am Saturday.

 

During setup, vendors may utilize the Mills Park Hotel parking lot to unload their booth.  After unloading, vehicles must be moved to vendor parking. 

Mills Park Hotel does not have equipment or staff to move vendor belongings.  Please be advised luggage carts are for MPH guests only and may not be utilized by vendors.  

When is tear down?

Tear down begins at 6 pm on Saturday November 30. Early tear down for any reason is not permitted, and will result in being ineligible to vend at future Mills Park Hotel events.

Do I need to provide my own tables, chairs, etc?

Vendors must supply their own tables, chairs, and display pieces.

Outdoor vendors must provide their own canopy or tent as well. 

Where do I park?

Parking is available for vendors at Mills Lawn Elementary School across the street from Mills Park Hotel.  Vendors are not permitted to park in the hotel parking lot.

Limestone Street will be a designated no parking zone Friday & Saturday. 

What if I need to cancel my booth?

Booth fees are refundable, minus a $25 administration fee, if cancelled on or before 10/31/2024.

Starting on 11/1/2024, booth fees will only be refunded (minus $25 administration fee) if a replacement vendor takes your spot. 

 

Vendors who no-show without contacting the organizer will be ineligible to vend at future Mills Park Hotel events.

What will happen if there is bad weather?

The Holiday Bazaar will be held rain, shine, or snow. If necessary, the outdoor tent has sides that can be shut to make it fully enclosed. The sides will be left open as long as weather permits. The tent will be heated, though it may still be chilly inside if the outside temperature is unexpectedly low.

 

There is no heating provided for Outdoor spaces. Generators, gas-powered heaters, or other devices which create fumes are not permitted to be used. Electrical access is not available outside. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
