Setup is 8 am-9 am (cars off the street at 9am). Break down is at 5pm both days. 

Each vendor spot is numbered, and Festival staff will be available to help you find your location. Spot numbers are not given out until morning check-in.

Space size for craft vendors is 10 x 10 feet. All tents must conform to space size. Vendors requiring additional space must purchase 2 spaces. 

Vendors supply all tables, chairs, and protection from the weather.

Vendor display may not extend farther than the allotted 10 feet and no further than the white line of the parking spaces. 

The Maritime Festival Committee reserves the right to ask any vendor who has misrepresented items for sale to leave and forfeit the registration fee.

Merchants may not change spot locations at will. They must remain in their assigned spaces and communication regarding spaces is only valid with the current festival organizers.

There is no electric hook-up available. No generators are allowed. 

Specific vendor spaces cannot be reserved. Space assignments are at the discretion of the Festival Committee and may change from year to year. 

Vendor displays must be set up and broken down each day.  

Once accepted into the event – any updated details regarding space, unloading, and parking will be provided one week prior to the festival. 

East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation does not assume responsibility for any lost, stolen, or damaged goods.

Vendors are required to unload and move vehicles from the Festival area (Front and Main Streets or any street used as vendor locations.) by 9:30 a.m. to park in a lot or on a side road. We know this may be inconvenient, but a large turnout is expected. There is no designated vendor parking area but municipal spaces are available for parking near the craft fair area so check in early. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend unloading and parking as early as possible.

Local accommodations book up early in the year due to the high attendance at our event. We recommend booking early as well!

No refunds will be issued. No exceptions. 

If the show must be canceled due to unsafe weather conditions or force majeure conditions beyond our control, no refunds will be made.

Cancellation of the show is at the sole discretion of the Maritime Festival Committee and such decision will be final. 

Fees will not be applied to subsequent shows.
