Vending @ First Fridays
The BBBA wants to provide an interesting, culturally-rich, and family-friendly experience for our visitors and a successful selling experience for our members, businesses, vendors and artists. Our intention is to accept a varied mix of vendors who sell unique, quality products. We are especially interested in hand-made, crafted, and upcycled items that cannot typically be found in usual shopping venues.
Organized to highlight our members and Main Street District, vendors who are in direct competition with any of those businesses may be prohibited from participating. Exclusivity is not guaranteed. However, every effort will be made to prevent an overabundance of similar products or services. The BBBA reserves the right to deny the sale or give-away of any particular item and/or service or the participation of a vendor for any reason. Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
