Vendors - Craft Fair

Thank you for your interest in participating at an FHDA craft fair event!

The information provided below does not apply to the Farmer’s Market.

Farmers Market in the Plaza: If you are interested in becoming a vendor at the weekly farmers market email: admin@livingsmartmarket.com or visit: Living Smart Farmers Market

Please Note:

All prospective vendors will be juried/interviewed by the Event Coordinator.
No multi-tier, wholesaler, commercial or import vendors will be accepted.
Items for sale at this event must be 85% handcrafted by the applicant.

How vendors are notified of their application status is explained at length during the submittal process. We thank you in advance for reading our application in its entirety! Please do not contact FHDA to inquire as to the status of your application.

California Seller’s Permit Requirement

California law requires that all vendors have a valid California Seller’s Permit. Your permit number must be disclosed on our application as it will be verified for validity prior to acceptance. If validity cannot be confirmed, a vendor will be automatically withdrawn. If you do not have a California Seller’s Permit, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (formerly known as the California State Board of Equalization) can be reached at (916) 227-6700 or via their website – https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/formspubs/pub107/#applying

FHDA is not able to assist vendors with these permits.

Vendors are responsible for reading this section in its entirety BEFORE applying. If a question is received where the answer has been addressed below, a screenshot of this section will be sent in response. Thank you for your time!

Submitting an application is NOT confirmation of event participation.

Keep an eye out for emails from “notify@pinwheelmail.com“. Do not reply as it’s an unmonitored mailbox.

Whether you are a returning vendor or a new vendor, every application will be placed in a “Waitlisted” status. Since this is a juried craft fair, applications are not first come, first served. Any of the following three scenarios will happen …

Applications that are deemed approved will proceed through to the payment process. After a credit card payment is successfully completed, vendors will receive an automatically generated “Registered” status receipt confirming their participation. (Please transfer funds in advance or notify FHDA of a change in credit card information, etc. FHDA does not have the bandwidth to correct processing errors on a vendor’s behalf.) Check vendors will receive a separate “Payment Request” email. (If a vendor changes their mind as to this method of payment, a credit card cannot be processed at that point. After notifying FHDA, a second application will need to be submitted reflecting the corrected form of payment.) Check vendors will not receive the change in status email until they are fully paid.
Applications that are deemed not approved will NOT be charged regardless of payment information having been provided on our application. Vendors will receive an automatically generated “Withdrawn” status email from our event program. (This will be the ONLY communication sent so check your spam/junk folder! “Withdrawn” is the program’s language, not FHDA’s choice.) Please do not submit multiple applications as they will be deleted for duplicates. As a juried craft fair, FHDA has full discretion.
Applications that remain waitlisted throughout our review process will NOT be charged regardless of payment information having been provided on our application unless the application is ultimately deemed approved. If neither of the two aforementioned decisions are made by FHDA, vendors will ONLY receive the initial “Waitlisted” status email. Please do not submit multiple applications as they will be deleted for duplicates.

Vendors are NOT participating in our event until they receive a “Registered” status email.

This is a juried craft fair. Applications are not first come, first served.

Credit card processing fees are included in the price quoted.

FHDA does not accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or cash.

All spaces are located outside with day of set up only.

This is a RAIN or SHINE event!
