A LETTER TO OUR VENDORS

Dear Crafter/Artisan,

We wish to extend to you an invitation to register for the 37th Annual Atlantic Balloon Fiesta Indoor Market, September 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th of 2024.  The committee is already actively planning this event and we look forward to spending the weekend with you!

Registrations can be secured by post dated cheque with the date of August 1st 2024, with the registration fee of $200.00 per booth space (10’ X 10’).  PLEASE DO NOT SEND REGISTRATION FEE UNTIL YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY OUR COMMITTEE. We are able to accept e-transfers this year in addition to Cheque and Money Order. Receipts will be issued at the onset of the event.  If you wish to share your booth with someone, please let us know. Cancellations made on or before July 31st, 2024 will be reviewed by the Balloon Fiesta Committee and a partial refund will be considered. Refunds will not be issued for cancellations after August 1st, 2024. 

Spaces will be reserved on a first come first reserved basis with prior pre-registered vendors given priority/preference for booth requests. Spaces are decreased in number this year to account for safe traffic flow. 

PLEASE NOTE: not everyone will get their same places as in previous years as we have new vendors with different structures but we will do our best to accommodate you.  All vendor spaces are located on the floor of the 8th Hussars Sports Centre and a diagram of the floor is available. 

For further information, please contact me at indoor.market@atlanticballoonfiesta.ca  or the festival office at 432-9444 – Info@atlanticballoonfiesta.ca   We look forward to having you join us for this year’s event.  www.AtlanticBalloonFiesta.ca
