Holiday Pop-Up Market Vendor Information

​General Information for all

• NEW Location: GoodRoad CiderWorks 117 Southside Dr, Charlotte, NC 28217 (one mile down the road from Lenny Boy)
  • GoodRoad Cider serves their own cider and mead, has alcoholic and nonalcoholic options,  and serves Lenny Boy Kombucha..
  • They have a beautiful taproom with seating so folks that come to visit can hang out and chill in that room as they shop and get readings.  
  • They will be getting us two food trucks and that is where the food is coming from for this event.
  • They will be helping us promote the event
  • Parking will be in their lot, on the streets around them, and in the lots of the businesses around them after work on Friday and all day Saturday.  
• NEW Event Times: we are adding a Friday night in because we want to even out the crowds over a bigger period of time due to the smaller location
  • ​Friday - 4pm load in, 5pm - 9pm open to public
  • Saturday - 10am load in, 11am - 4pm open to public  *end time might change to 5pm so please leave that time open
• ​When you apply you will have the option to pick both days, Saturday only, Friday only, or available for Friday only if needed.  When we approve applications we are going to take into consideration what days you can join us and full disclosure - we are going to lean towards approving folks that can do both.  That being said, we already know of a few that can only do Saturday and that is truly okay if that is how you need to apply.
• You'll only have an hour to set up (10am - 11am) and an hour to breakdown 4pm - 5pm).  Caveat here is that they might be able to give us an extra hour and we don't end until 5pm and then breakdown is 5-6pm.  We won't know for a few weeks but if they do not get an evening contract they are happy to have us stay later.  So please plan accordingly in case we have the extra time.
• WiFi is available in the venue.   ​
• As always we will be asking all of you to promote the event on social media and via your blog, website, newsletter, etc.
• Lori is playing point on this event so the main contact email is: lori@shiftcharlotte.com​​​

• Reader space
  • The reader space is much smaller than in prior years but totally a great energy and vibe and you do not need to bring anything with you other than what you use to do your thing.
  • It will be on a balcony so stairs are involved.  If this is an issue, please contact us at support@shiftcharlotte.com  If a person wants a reading and cannot do stairs we will handle this by you coming down to the floor and we will have a spot for you.
  • 12 readers this year (last year we had 24).   
  • Tables and chairs provided.
  • Each spot will be set up before you get there.  The spots are spaced evenly for the area but again full disclosure, are not all that far apart.  
  • We will set up a marketing area so all of you can display your marketing information.
  • You will bring your sign up sheet but we will have a volunteer managing all of them on the floor on the reader sign up table.  
  • You will process your financial transaction.
  • Look at video and picture below to see what the reader balcony space looks like.
