VENDOR FAQs & POLICIES

What do vendor booths include?
A dedicated 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. 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 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?
Most outdoor events do not have electricity access, we recommend you bring a generator if needed. Please refer to your event’s specific Logistics Page for details. Logistics are emailed after your application has been approved and booth fee paid.  

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.

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

• All Gum Pop Presents events are Rain, Snow or Shine! With exceptions for cases of extreme or dangerous weather, the market will take place regardless of rain, heat or cold.

  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. As Colorado weather is ever-changing, Gum Pop Presents will not make the call to cancel any market prior to the day-of. All vendors will be notified immediately in the event a market is delayed or cancelled.

  Vendors are expected to participate in their scheduled market unless otherwise notified. Gum Pop Presents monitors the forecast closely on market days and will always make decisions based on what's best for both vendors and attendees. Should Gum Pop Presents cancel a market due to weather, all participating vendors on that scheduled date will receive a refund for their registration fee by the following Tuesday.

  When rain chances are forecasted at 50% or higher during market hours per AccuWeather, vendors have the following options. Please note that in all cases, Gum Pop MUST be notified of your decision:

  1) Prepare for the market as you always do and arrive at the site during scheduled load-in hours. Load-in may be delayed when there is rain in the forecast, but we will notify vendors in those instances. Management will advise on setup options when you arrive.

  2) Vendors may opt out of the market, but will not receive a Vendor Credit and will be subject to the $25 Late Cancellation Fee. Vendors must notify Gum Pop via the Vendor Hotline. Vendors that do not notify Gum Pop of their cancelation will be charged a $75 No Show Fee.

• 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.
