Cancellation Policy

Because we are limiting the amount of vendors for each event, attendance is crucial. If more than three (3) event days are missed (excused or unexcused) you forfeit your deposit and spot for next season. We understand that things happen and can be flexible on a case-by-case basis. If you need to cancel, please give a 48 hr notice. No shows will result in termination of remaining permits
