What can I sell in the Night Market?

- Any material containing extremely violent and/or sexually explicit nature depictions must not be accessible to minors, including literature.
- Mature/Adult material must be kept in closed binders/folders that are clearly marked as adult.
- Mature/Adult art in progress must be as concealed as possible from public view
- Vendors are required to monitor their adult/mature materials to ensure minors are not viewing them and must be aware of the persons behind the person's browsing their materials may be a minor. Adult material in binders must have explicit portions censored.
- Vendors found in non-compliance with these rules will first be asked to rectify the problem. If on follow-up the problem persists, the vendor will be ejected from the Night Market.
What if I want to leave?
Not a problem. Just be sure to inform the Night Market check in table you are leaving.
Closing up: Let us know you are not returning. This lets us fill in that spot with the next person on our wait list.
Taking a break: Let us know this too. So that we do not mistaken your table as a spot to give away. We can also inform people that you are away, and will be returning later.
Can I get a full table?
Not this year. You can request to sit beside a friend as you arrive, if the spot beside them is not taken.
Can I put signs on the walls?
We ask that you please check with the Check-in table, or Operations for appropriate tape. We are guests, and do not wish to destroy hotel property. You can also place signs on your table
We are also providing a map, where your name will be shown so that people may find you.
Is there anything else I should know?
