Explanation of Rental Rates

Our business model is based on encouraging people to shop small and shop local.

Our vendors are the direct descendants of the American retail pioneers that build this country one town at a time.

Outdoor shopping is the heart and soul of what we offer.

Online and big box chain stores dominate the landscape today, but there is nothing like getting out on a Saturday or Sunday to enjoy the simple pleasures of shopping, browsing, and people watching with your friends, family, and neighbors.

Our definition of 'local' is small, independent for profit vendors consisting of artists, crafters, gift curators, and neighborhood brick and mortar mom & pop stores.

We believe they are the reason why people come to our fairs.

The vendors consisting of larger groups and organizations attend because there are people.

The other, larger, vendor groups include brick and mortar stores representing organizations such as real estate agencies, the media, gyms,  etc, who may or may not be affiliated with larger regional, national or international organizations..

The 'other vendor groups' generally have staffs larger than 'mom & pop' along with one or two full or part time employees.

FREE VENDOR RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES

Nassau County Fairs is a unique for-profit company.

Our charitable and nonprofit associates have provided us with an unprecedented number of quality locations that have ever been given to any one company on Long Island.

In order for us to be able to make the necessary donations to our associates we must use these locations wisely and efficiently.

Nassau County Fairs and its vendors must be profitable.

It takes a lot of money to market and promote every one of our fairs so that as many people as possible are aware of and attend the events throughout the year.

To that end we currently charge a rental rate to all of our vendors that is well below the industry average.

So, because we are already donating to the charities and nonprofits of our choice, we cannot offer free space to other organizations that wish to participate as vendors.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

Charitable organizations are welcome to email us their request for free space shop@nassaucountyfairs.com.

If we can accommodate the request here are the requirements:

No items are offered for sale.

No donations are solicited or accepted.

No election politicking.  

Must be in office as we do not allow running candidates to have a booth.

Your booth is open for all advertised hours. 

The free space is limited to literature and signage to create awareness, education, and involvement for the organization.

You must comply with all vendor set up and break down requirements. 

Under no circumstances are individuals or groups permitted to distribute literature without our express permission.

DIRECTIONS:  GPS 100 Cedar Beach Way, Babylon, NY 11702

VENDOR RULES

Please do not place your items to the left or right of your space because this might be another vendor's space.

Vendors who sell quality items that are displayed on a bare table only diminish their look and lower the overall appearance of the Market.
