SET UP
YOUR SPACE ONLY INCLUDES THE METERS OF FLOOR YOU PAID FOR AND A CONNECTION TO THE LIGHT. THERE WILL BE NO DIVISIONS BETWEEN THE SPACES.
*Each person will be in charge of bringing what they are going to use: table, extensions, dividers (walls), etc. This year we will not rent tables. Each space will have the right to one electricity connection, if you need more you have to bring a multi-contact. The connection may be in your space or in the next one. On setup day, check where yours is to see if you need an extension.
*It is prohibited to put things outside your space. It is also prohibited to stand or walk in the hallway to distribute flyers. You can only give out flyers in your space, or leave them at the entrance where they will be distributed along with totebags (reusable bags).
*If you use more space than you paid for, you will be charged a $100 fine for each centimeter you use, if you cannot pay at that time, you will be asked to leave the event.
*There will only be 110v electric current.
*The setup will be on November 28 from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. You can go at any time you want within that schedule, but the gym closes at 8, do not arrive at 8. If your space is at the back I suggest you arrive early. If you plan to bring furniture or large things that will need to enter through the large door, you have to do so on the 27th at the time we notify you. On the 28th the large door will be closed so that the people who rented the spaces in front of the door can also setup.
*Market staff will ensure that no one enters the space of another business outside of event hours.
*The time to pick up and clean up will be November 30th after closing to the public until 10:00pm and if you haven't finished picking up, there will be an opportunity to continue on December 2nd from 10am to 4pm.
*The Food Trucks can setup on November 27 so that on the setup day the people who are seting up have food options and do not have to leave the place. Likewise, if on pick-up day they want to stay and sell, they can.
*If the Food Trucks want to set up a tent, they have to bring it and set it up themselves. There will be an area of tables and chairs inside and outside, they are exclusive for clients. It is prohibited to take them for use in your space.
