Know Before You Go

- Parking: Vendors can park for free in the lot across the street. Metered city parking is also available, and the page recommends paying for the whole day.
Tips & Advice
- Park head-in only at Asbury Park meters, because parking enforcement is strict and will ticket cars parked the wrong way.
- Download the Asbury PARK app ahead of time and save your car details, so you can pay for the day without hunting for a meter.
- Vendors should bring a tablecloth but no tables or chairs, because Porta supplies 6-foot tables for every space.
- Vendors should save the FRESH team text number, because market managers don't check email on site and use it for day-of updates and cancellations.
- Vendors who want to sell items not on their original application need to email for approval at least 3 days ahead, or they may be asked to leave.
