General Bazaar Information

Event Registration

• All Bazaar vendors must be registered participants of the Summer Solstice event.
• Vendors are required to attend the whole event.
• Day Pass registrants are not allowed to sell in the bazaar.
• The Bazaar Application Process (see below) is separate from Event Registration. You must still register for the event.
• Please complete your event registration within 2 weeks of the acceptance of your Bazaar Application, and no later than May 31, to insure that you receive a space.

Vendor Application

Whether you are a new or returning bazaar vendor, please take a moment to review the registration information, pricing, and policies prior to registering for a bazaar space.

Registration

All Bazaar participants must fill out a Bazaar Vendor Application Form and must be approved before registering. We require this so that 3HO can review your product/service offerings to see if they are in alignment with the 3HO lifestyle and Summer Solstice.

All bazaar spaces require a code to purchase; these spaces can only be purchased if you have a code given to you directly from 3HO.

The Bazaar Vendor Application does not reserve a Bazaar space for you. Your space is reserved when you complete your Event Registration.

There are three form types: General, Healer, and Food Vendor.

All General vendors must fill out a General Bazaar Vendor Form.

All Healers must fill out the Bazaar Healers Application Form.

All Food vendors must fill out the Food Vendor Application Form.

You will need to wait for a reply before you can register.

Vendor Spaces

How to choose the right size space for your offering:

• You may request to reserve up to two 6’ Spaces ($250 per), one 10×10 Space ($600) or one Massage Table Space ($400 and for Healers only).
• General (non-Healer-specific) spaces include at least one chair and one 6′ table.
• 6’ Spaces come with one 6-foot-long table and two chairs. A 10’x10’ Space will come with two or three 6-foot-long tables and two chairs, whichever your preference.
• Please be aware that the space boundaries may or may not be marked but in either case your area will be defined by your table[s] and you will know what you reserved. Please respect the spaces of others by staying within your marked or defined area.
• If you have a massage table or a Thai massage pad, you must rent two spaces or a Massage Table Space so as not to infringe on your neighbors’ spaces.
• If you have a massage chair, you and your work will fit into one 6′ space.
• If you are a healer and are also selling product, you are welcome to sell out of your healer space.
• Bring your own lighting, electrical cords, décor, display cases, massage tables/chairs, clothing racks, etc. Please consult the Bazaar Policies for more detailed information.
• Bazaar spaces include the use of electricity.
• Note: There is no Wi-Fi provided for Solstice attendees or Bazaar vendors.
