Submission of application does not guarantee space at the market. We review each application to ensure it is a good fit for the market and there are not too many similar vendors. We will email you to confirm approved dates. Invoices will be sent immediately after approval and payment is required within 7 days.
The First Friday Market hours are 5 PM to 8 PM. Setup begins at 3:30. You can arrive any time after that as long as you are ready to go by 5 PM. You can park around Central Park to unload, but please move your vehicle to the South Central lot or the parking garage before returning to set up your booth. Do not break down prior to 8 PM.
The market is located in Central Park in downtown Winter Haven. 1-35 4th St NW, Winter Haven, FL 33881.
There is some lighting in the park, but you may want to bring your own lights for your booth. There is no access to electricity at this event. You will see outlets throughout the park, but these are controlled externally and not active. Please do not plug into these as they can cause unexpected surges. If you are seen plugging in, you may be asked to leave.
All vendors are required to use tent weights. You may be asked to take your tent down if you do not have weights. This is for the safety of everyone at the market.
We will send out the event map to vendors a few days prior to the market. We may need to make unexpected changes to the layout on the fly and appreciate your cooperation. We will notify impacted vendors of any changes with as much notice as possible.
If you need to cancel, please email events@destroyermedia.com. Multiple short notice cancellations or no call no shows may result in your removal from future dates. Vendor fees are not refundable for cancellations/no shows.
This event is rain or shine (with the exception of severe weather). We will communicate with everyone via email if there are weather impacts.
