Indoor Space
NEAR-Fest offers inside space!
This area has excellent foot traffic and is centrally located.
Spaces are limited, so register early. Anyone interested in using an Inside Space may purchase this option when buying tickets. Inside Space will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Indoor Space & Options:
NEAR-Fest can provide the following items to Inside Space sellers.
- Extra Selling Spaces — Selling spaces are 8′ wide x 6′ Deep. (Just a blank space, nothing else with it…)
- Table Rental — Need a table? Maybe a bunch? We’ve got you covered! Add this to your cart and select the quantity you want. (You can bring your own)
- Chair Rental — If you want to sit at your table, consider adding some chairs to your cart. Don’t forget to select the quantity. (you can bring your own)
- Electric Power — If you are plugging into an electrical outlet, you need this option. You will need a cord; we suggest a long one as outlets are not in every selling space.
Only one electric usage pass is required per vendor, regardless of the number of selling spaces.
NOTE: not all spaces are eligible for electrical power; ample pre-registration is recommended to secure an eligible spot.
