VENDOR FAQs & POLICIES

What do vendor booths include?
A dedicated 10x10 vendor space to pop-up in for the weekend. All vendors must be self-sufficient and are responsible for bringing their own tents, weights, tables, power cords, furniture, and décor to create a unique and inviting pop-up shop. Tent weights are mandatory for all outdoor events.

Can I share my 10x10 booth?
Yes! We love co-op-style booths. 10x10 Booths can be shared by 2 vendors and 10x20 Booths can be shared by up to 4 vendors. Please include all involved vendors in your application for approval. There is no charge to share a booth space and only one application/fee is required per 10x10 or 10x20 booth space.

Please note: If you apply for a booth space without a partner and would like to add one later on, you must email vending@gumpoppresents.com to have the shared booth partner approved. Additional vendors that have not been previously approved by Denver BAZAAR will not be permitted to participate.

Will electricity and Wi-Fi be available during the event?
Electricity access is limited at the Sloan’s Lake and Belleview Station locations but is not available elsewhere. If your booth space requires electricity, please reach out to vending@gumpoppresents.com to confirm availability so we may plan your booth space accordingly. We do not provide WiFi. Please be prepared to accept sales in offline mode for credit card sales. Alternatively, you can use your cell phone as a hotspot. 

What is your cancellation, refund & transfer policy?
Vendors will have 48 hours after they have confirmed and paid to cancel their vendor registration. After the cancellation period, we cannot offer any refunds, only booth fee credits that can be used for a future event. Any cancellations within two weeks of the event start date will not receive a refund or future event credit.

How does vendor load-in work?
Accepted vendors will be notified with more detailed load-in instructions at least two weeks prior to any event. Vendors will load in Saturday morning and break down after the event.

Do I need insurance to be a vendor?
Yes, you will need proof of business insurance (event-specific or general liability) in order to vend at our events. Please add TBW Enterprises LLC, PO Box 3128, Greenwood Village CO 80155 as an additional insured on your policy. You can acquire per-event insurance HERE. A discount code will be provided for approved vendors. Proof of insurance is required to be uploaded upon signing the Vendor Agreement.

Do I need a business license to be a vendor?
Each vendor is responsible for having the appropriate business and sales tax licenses for the jurisdiction of the event (city and state), and reporting and submitting their sales tax info to the appropriate city and state entities.

Application Fee Policy
The $15 Vendor Application Fee per location is a non-refundable application fee and does not guarantee a booth space for this event. All submissions will be reviewed by Gum Pop, and vendors not selected will be notified. Accepted vendors will be required to submit a registration fee separately for each confirmed event. Once the registration fee is paid, there is a short window to formally cancel and receive a refund.

Vendor Agreement
Each vendor will be required to sign our 2025 Vendor Agreement and upload proof of insurance, business license, and sales tax license before participating in their first event with Gum Pop Presents. Vendors will only need to sign a contract once in 2025 if they plan to vend at more than one event.

Weather Policy

• Our events happen Rain, Snow or Shine. With exceptions for cases of extreme or dangerous weather, the events will take place regardless of rain, heat or cold.

• Vendors should be adequately prepared for sudden rains (suggestions include plastic sheeting to cover merchandise if needed, a pole to push rain off canopies, etc.)

• It is the authority of Gum Pop Presents to close a market early or open a market late due to severe or inclement weather. Gum Pop will make decisions to alter market times based on weather reports or market conditions.

• In cases of severe weather (snow, tornado warnings, excessive winds, etc), Gum Pop may cancel the market. Vendors will be notified of cancellations.

• Any questions about weather plans should be addressed to Gum Pop via phone or email. 

CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations are only eligible for a refund within 2 business days after application approval. After the cancellation period, we cannot offer any refunds, only booth fee credits that can be used for a future event.

Cancellations made at least two weeks in advance are eligible for a booth fee credit or reschedule. Any cancellations made within two weeks of a market date may not eligible to receive a refund or future event credit.

All cancellations must be made by phone or email. Vendors who cancel less than 48 hours prior to a market will be charged an additional $25 late cancelation fee. In emergency situations (such as illness, death, or vehicle problems), the fees may be waived at the discretion of Gum Pop, and vendors should contact Gum Pop via email or Vendor Hotline: (720) 445-6381‬.

Vendors who are a no-call, no-show will be responsible for a $75 no-show cancellation fee, due the following week by Venmo or via digital invoice (Venmo: @GumPop). Vendors who violate this rule two (2) or more times will be placed on probation for the remainder of the agreement year. A third (3rd) cancellation of this nature can result in dismissal from the market. To cancel or make changes to your registration, or for questions regarding our policy or COVID-19 related cancellations, please email vending@gumpoppresents.com.

Please note that we are not able to monitor our inboxes while on-site at events. To ensure any weekend messages are received by the Vendor Coordinator, we ask that any last minute cancellations are made through the Vendor Hotline only.

Safety
All canopies, umbrellas, and other forms of cover must be sufficiently and safely secured to the ground from the moment the canopy is erected at the start of the event until the moment immediately before it is taken down at the end of the event. Weights should not present any hazards (such as tripping) to customers.

Professionalism

• All profane, abusive, discourteous, and boisterous language and/or conduct at or about the events is prohibited.

• Use or possession of drugs, gambling, or possession of firearms at or about the market area is prohibited.

• Fraudulent, dishonest, or deceptive merchandising, disruptive behavior, or collusion to set prices among vendors may be grounds for forfeiture of the right to do business of any kind at our events for a length of time to be determined by Gum Pop.

• Vendors must be fourteen years of age or older. Younger children are welcome and encouraged to participate, but must be accompanied by an adult responsible for the child’s conduct and safety.

Display and Signage Standards

• Vendors are encouraged to present their products in a professional and clean manner, including the display of such products. Selling spaces must be kept clean and neat. Failure to comply with this requirement may, at the discretion of Gum Pop, result in the termination of selling privileges.

• Food samples must be presented in a safe and sanitary manner, in accordance with any state and local regulations. The Vendor must provide trash receptacles for the disposal of any sampling materials such as cups, spoons, or toothpicks.

• Product and signage must be contained within the selling space unless otherwise approved by Gum Pop.

• Vendors will be solely responsible at all times for the cleanliness within their vending area regardless of the origin of the debris in that location.

• Each vendor is required to leave the space clean at the end of the day. Vendors must remove all residue or waste products, as well as signs, tents, tables, etc. at the end of each event.
