MHC Market Q and A
Pay for One Weekend...
Get the Second Weekend Free!
Greetings
artists and craftsmen! The Morehead
City Markets in the Kathryn Davis Park on Arendell in between
6th and 7th Streets has begun. We
are so excited to bring this new venue to the area and
we are hoping for a great turnout to make this weekly
event a real hit. Please
take the time to read the frequently asked questions section
below. If
you are interested in this grand opportunity, please contact
us by calling (252) 240-1979.
Most of the information
you may be looking for is on this website. We’ll
see you there!
Q. If I decide
to participate, do I have to make a long term commitment
as a vendor?
A. No. All
we ask is that you register for the Saturdays you are available
to participate. The regular booth price is $20 per
day, but if you choose to sign up for several weeks you will
receive a discount. If you decide to participate every
Saturday for a month, the discounted rate is $75 for the
month. Biweekly
for the season is $180 and every week for the entire season
is $325 ($75 discount!). Also as mentioned above, we are
offering a first weekend opportunity of buy one get one
free for the second weekend.
Q. What size
is the space and what do I need to bring for it?
A. The
space is a 10’ X
10’ area. You can bring whatever set-up best
suites your art, craft, baked goods, home grown flowers or
produce. A
tent and table is suggested, as the summer is upon us. We
strongly recommend weights or sandbags to secure your items
due to the strong sea breeze along the waterfront. For
now, electricity will not be provided except for the musician’s
area, so if you care to have boom boxes or fans they must
be battery operated
Q. Will the
Morehead City Markets be every Saturday?
A. Yes,
from 9am – 5pm. With
the exception of the first weekend in October due to the
North Carolina Seafood Festival. This Saturday,
June 30th kicks
off the event and we plan to continue this outdoor market
on into November some time, so you will have plenty of
opportunities to participate, but we are hoping the community
will pull together this weekend and next to start off
strong and make an imprint in the community for the weekends
to come.
Q. How do I
register for this weekend or any upcoming weekend?
A. You
can download a registration form from this website. You
can also print one and turn it in to Arts & Things
at 704 Evans Street in Morehead City on the waterfront
from 10am-6pm, Monday through Saturday or fax it to
(252 )808-3168. For
this weekend only, payments are accepted via cash or
check (made payable to Morehead City Markets) and are
due no later than 9am Saturday morning. After
this weekend, payments must be paid no later than the
Wednesday before the Market day you wish to attend. Please
read the rules of the MCM on the vendor application
form
.Q. How early
can I arrive to set-up?
A.
Set-up is from 7am-9am. Pack-up
is from 5pm-6:30pm. Park must be clear by 7pm.
Q. Will there
be entertainment? Can local musicians perform
at the event?
A. Yes! The
pay for the day is $100. Electricity will be provided
to this area only. You will be responsible for bringing
your own sound equipment. Entertainment must
be booked further in advance, so please contact
us as soon as possible to reserve a day.
