Umbrella-Only booth guidelines

Structures

Canopies, tents, and other overhead structures are not permitted at any booth size.

A patio umbrella is required for every booth, regardless of the weather forecast.

Umbrella size requirements are based on your booth size:

- 8x6, 6x6, and 6x4 booths: umbrella may not exceed 7.5 feet in diameter

- 10x10 booths: umbrella may not exceed 9 feet in diameter

Umbrellas must be white, tan, cream, beige, or another approved neutral color and must remain fully within your assigned booth space.

Arriving without an approved umbrella may result in being unable to participate. No refund or credit will be issued.

Tables and Coverings

All customer-facing table legs must be fully covered.

Table coverings must be clean, floor-length or fitted, and should be white, tan, cream, beige, black, or another soft solid color that complements your brand.

Bright colors, neon shades, busy patterns, and plastic coverings are not permitted.

If you are unsure whether your covering is acceptable, email us a photo before the market.

Signage and Displays

Signage should be professionally printed or carefully handmade.

Plastic A-frame signs are not permitted.

All tables, racks, signage, merchandise, displays, and equipment must remain fully within your assigned booth footprint and may not extend into walkways or neighboring spaces.

Your booth should remain clean, organized, and visually cohesive throughout the market.

Storage and Cleanup

Boxes, storage bins, packaging, personal belongings, and extra inventory should be kept out of public view whenever possible and stored neatly within your booth space.

At the end of the market, remove all trash, boxes, packaging, zip ties, and other materials.

Your space must be left clean and in the same condition in which you received it.

A booth left uncleared will incur a $25 cleanup fee, payable before participating in another Makers Hive Market.

Requesting an Exception

If you would like to use an umbrella, table covering, or other booth element that does not meet these guidelines, you must request approval before the market.

Email us clear photos and a short explanation of what you would like to use.

Exceptions are reviewed case by case and are not guaranteed.

An exception is only approved once you receive written confirmation from The Makers Hive Market.

Failure to Follow the Guidelines

Vendors are responsible for arriving with a setup that meets these requirements.

If your setup does not comply, event staff may require you to modify or remove items before opening.

If the issue cannot be corrected and you are unable to participate, no refund or credit will be issued.
