Please note the following:

When is Market Square Day 2008?

This year's event takes place on Saturday, June 14th from 9:00am - 5:00pm

How can I apply for a Booth Space?

If you are an individual/group who has participated in the past and are in "good standing", you should automatically receive an application packet.
New applicants can download documents here or forward their mailing address to info@proportsmouth.org - we will get the information to you by mail.

Is Market Square Day a juried event?

All applications, product descriptions/pictures are reviewed by a committee. They determine the number of applicants who are included based on quality of products and appropriate messages for/at the event.

NOTE: A good example of what the committee reviews may be seen in the inclusion of those who apply under the category of "Artists and Craftspeople". All products must be created (soup to nuts, so to speak) by the applicant. Any items/products that are not hand-crafted by the applicant will not be included under the "Craftspeople" category - They will be considered a "Non-Food Vendor - Other" at a different fee level.

Do you allow raffles?

We have made a decision not to permit raffles at Market Square Day. While we certainly recognize that some organizations use raffles in their fund raising efforts, our decision is based on feedback and our continuing efforts to "re-create" and revitalize the event.

How much does a Booth Space cost?

Cost is based on products, location of and type of business. All cost categories are noted on the Application.

Do you require insurance?

Yes, each "booth" group must have a $1 million general liability insurance policy. Pro Portsmouth is to be named as an additionally insured party for the event date.
Pro Portsmouth does provide insurance opportunities for small, start up businesses and craftspeople.

What is included in the Booth Space fee?

We allocate a 15' x 10' space for you in the festival area. Individuals/groups are responsible for tables, chairs, tents, etc.

NOTE: We are unable to provide water or power at the Booth Spaces.
