A majority of our fairs are fundraisers for charitable and nonprofit organizations.
To be successful we must provide our vendors with quality locations.
Our business model is based on encouraging people to shop small and shop local.
Our definition of shopping small and local is providing a pleasant experience where shoppers may browse, shop, and talk to the artists, crafters, gift vendors and service providers.
We offer the exact opposite of the impersonal experience of shopping in big box stores and online.
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.

FREE VENDOR RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHARITIES
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.
By our standards, a charity does not have paid employees.
A charity is run excusively by volunteers.
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.
