Please arrive early to allow plenty of time to check in and set up. An effort will be made to limit similar products from being placed near each other. Only a limited amount of jewelry vendors will be allowed. Vendors are expected to keep their spaces clean and professional appearing throughout the event. All vendors are required to have a CA sellers permit. NO refunds will be issued unless the event is cancelled by the coordinator. THIS EVENT IS INDOORS.

The mall is rolling out a new market esthetics policy. This has been in effect since November 2023. Folding tables will no longer be allowed. Only actual professional looking fixtures will be allowed.

We will be providing each vendor with one nice professional 5ft table, a small stand and storage cubes/crates. Additional tables and shelving units will be available for rent. The rental fee is $5 for each additional table for each day.

We began transitioning to this new set up in September 2023. If you need to rent a second table please go to the eventbrite link you signed up on to rent the additional table. Please remember if you are participating in multiple days you'll need to rent an additional table for each day you are participating for $5 per day. So if yo u are doing 3 days select 3 under quantity ($15) when paying for the additional tables. Please sign up for additional tables in advance so we can have them set up and ready to go for you. We can not guarantee additional tables will be available the day of the event if you have not reserved one in advance.

You are welcome to bring your own professional looking fixtures such as stands, racks, and shelving. If this is your first time participating at our Northridge market with these new displays please arrive early so you allow yourself plenty of time to adjust.

NO FOLDING TABLES OR TABLECLOTHS ARE ALLOWED. Table runners are ok. No grid walls are allowed. All of your storage bins and dollys MUST be placed back in your vehicle. No plastic bins or cardboard boxes can be visible. We will have some crates and cubes available to store extra stock and personal items. Whatever you do not "NEED" must be stored back in your car.
