First Sunday Guidelines:
First Sunday is a monthly event sponsored by the Pittsboro Business Association. Participants in First Sunday are guests of the PBA & the following guidelines must be met. If you have any questions, concerns or would like to be involved, please contact the PBA Event Coordinator at pittsborofirstsunday@gmail.com.
1) First Sunday vendors must be approved by the Pittsboro Business Association and must be handmade; items brought to First Sunday should be original in nature and are to not to be made from kits, molds or mass-produced. *
2) First Sunday is a reservation-based family-friendly event. Vendors are not to set up unless they have received a reservation in advance. The deadline to contact us to make your reservation is the Saturday one week prior to the event. You will receive an email by the Friday prior to the event letting you know where to set up. Vendors are not to share booth space with another artist unless approved by the coordinator in advance.
3) Booth size is approximately 6'x6'; vendors provide their own tables and chairs as well as any sort of shade device (such as a canopy or umbrella†) that they want to use. Please make sure not to block any store doorways and allow enough room for people to pass by freely on the sidewalk; no street signage is allowed. If you have any special requirements, such as electricity, handicap accessibility, etc... please let us know & we will try our best to accommodate you.
†We allow 10x10 tents as long as the vendor makes sure to leave 4ft of clearance in the front of the table, so people can walk through and ask that it's on the application that they may be using a tent & what the size is. Our sidewalks are old and various widths and we don't want to impede foot traffic.
