Mutual Expectations
Alberta Street Fair vendors should expect Alberta Main Street to:
- Provide a clean and well-marked vendor space 10′ x 10′ or 10’ x 20’ based on your reservation. No power is available and generators are not allowed, unless approved in advance.
- Distribute regular communication updates to keep you up to date with important details.
- Host a well-organized and fun community event – with a few surprises thrown in throughout the day.
- Promote Alberta Street Fair widely locally and throughout the region.
Alberta Main Street expects vendors to:
- Remain ‘open’ from 11AM – 6PM.
- Load in and out all of your own equipment and ensure your supplies and storage fit within your allocated space.
- Consider ways to reduce the amount of waste, encourage recycling and consider the types of materials and packaging you use.
- Clean up your own garbage and recyclables at the end of the event. Garbage & recycling will be available. Vendors who do not clean up their booth space may not be allowed into the event next year. The volunteers who are cleaning up the event appreciate your efforts to leave your space as clean as you found it at the beginning of the day!
- Display your vendor permit (provided at check-in) in a visible space at the front of your booth all day.
- Remain flexible & cooperate with volunteers to ensure the event goes off without a hitch.
- Read all Alberta Street Fair communications upon receipt.
