APPLICATION PROCESS

To participate in the Sola Pop-Up, you will need to fill out an application below, pay the application fee, and wait to hear back from us (applications close March 10, you will hear back from us by March 12th). Once you have been accepted, you will have 7 days to pay your vendor fee. If we have not received your fee within the 7 days, we will move onto to those waitlisted! Vendors fees will vary according to requested booths, 8x8 - $55 (tent not permitted) and 10x10 (tent optional) - $75. This secures your position in the market. If you should need to drop out of any market dates, you may do so within this 7 day period. Please note that vendors who drop out more than 7 days after their acceptance will not receive a refund on their vendor fee. This helps to ensure that we do not have any empty booths on market day. The rain date will be the following Saturday, May 18th. Keep in mind, if you are unable to make the rain date, only 50% of the vendor fee will be refunded. Your compliance with our complete application process helps to ensure that we have the best pop-up possible! Thanks for helping us in this effort.
