REGULATIONS AT OUR MARKET
All the food products must be pre-made and we recommend you pre-package your products. (We cannot provide hand washing stations provided at this event but contact us if you want to bring your own.) The electricity power (amp) is low at the venue and unreliable. Large appliances will not be allowed. (e.g., espresso machines cannot be used at the venue.) Coolers, Chafing dishes, and Airpots are recommended because of limited power supply. (contact us if you need special accommodations and we will try our best to help) For safety concerns, raw meat and seafood will not be permitted at the event. Vendors MUST update the information about products if there are changes after submitting this application. Organizer’s insurance DOES NOT cover products from vendors. It is recommended to have your own insurance for your products.
