Tips & Advice
- Keep children under 13 with an adult at all times, because the market rules require minors to stay under adult supervision on the grounds.
- Leave cigarettes and e-cigarettes in your pocket while on site, because smoking of any kind and open flames are completely banned at the market.
- Don't bring your own alcohol, fireworks or drones, because outside alcohol and pyrotechnics are prohibited and drones need the organizer's prior permission.
- Bring some money for rides, food and crafts, because entry is free but exhibitors' offers and some attractions may cost extra.
- Vendors should send their application by October 30, because sending a form doesn't guarantee a spot and the organizer picks exhibitors when space is short.
