SIGN UP FOR BUSHSWAG @ BUSHWIG IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED! ALL SPOTS HAVE BEEN CLAIMED!
To be added to the email blast for sign ups next year, EMAIL BUSHSWAGBK@GMAIL.COM
Please be sure to fill out and submit this online form AND complete your payment when you are redirected, or your sign-up will not be counted.
BUSHSWAG at Bushwig is Saturday the 7th & Sunday the 8th of September at Bushwig at Knockdown Center 52-19 Flushing Avenue Queens NY 11378.
- Bushswag will be split into two areas. You can mark a preference of where you would prefer to be, but once one area is filled, based on a first-come, first-served basis, all vendors will be evenly divided between the two regions. To the left of the stage (when you're facing it) and to the right of the stage (when you're facing it). To the right of the stage is the area we used to be limited to in previous years.
- Depending on how to sign-up goes, this may mean you will have MORE space to work with, but we will confirm this after sign-up closes.
- You will not be able to share space this year, and you must sell both days. It’s too much to move around and accommodate and coordinate and trust us. You want to be there both days. Most visitors will wait til the last day to make some purchases they’ve been considering.
- It's $350 for a 7x7 spot at the event.
- You get two two-day passes when you vend.
- You can decorate your area however you see fit if it stays within the assigned space of 7x7. Chairs will be available to everyone until we run out. If you want to bring your own chair feel free.
- You will be able to pull in to unload for the event but unfortunately you will NOT be able to park in the parking lot. The venue was at capacity last year. You will be able to find street parking after you unload.
- You may leave your items overnight (there's security); however, you MUST pack them in boxes or bags, so your items are not just out in the open for all to see. People get a little messy at the end of the event, and we want to ensure patrons do not go shopping while you're not there! Fortunately, we have never had a theft. However, Bushwig is not responsible for lost or stolen items. We suggested putting them in plastic totes or bags under your tables. If you have a rack, put them away and throw a sheet over your stuff.
- Tables/Racks will not be provided
- Due to venue rules, we cannot allow the sale of THC or any other drug products. If you try to sell these products, you will be asked to close up shop and leave the venue without a refund of your purchased spot. You will be putting the entire event at risk if you violate this rule.
Some recommendations:
- Bring a sign. People love to know who they're shopping with!
- Bring business cards. People love to network!
- Bring a card reader. People love to use that plastic girl!
- Pre-tag your items. This is not a must, but you might find customers would prefer to know the price instead of asking for everything they're interested in.
- ALWAYS watch your stuff. This is a fantastic loving event, but unfortunately, people can't stop themselves from being shady. We HIGHLY recommend you bring someone to help run your spot. We are not responsible for any items lost or stolen. However, there are cameras in the venue.
- Each vendor will get 2 two day passes for themselves and a helper. If you can’t have someone commit to being there the whole day with you, you can switch them out by having one leave the venue and give their pass to the next helper.
- Bring a long extension cord and lights! We run plugs all over the room, and the event goes pretty long. You don't have to stay until close, but people usually wait until the end of the event to do some last-minute shopping, so they don't have to carry it all day long. You may also offer to hold people's purchases but make sure you explain you are not responsible if they forget to pick them up!
- HAVE FUN and make that coin!
Sign-up will close on August 31st or until all the spaces have been filled. This is also the last day to cancel a previous payment of sign up. If you are unable to attend past this date, your sign up fee will be kept since your spot would have been filled by another artist or vendor. If you cancel previous to this date, $150 will be kept due to services and charges already deducted by our payment processors.
Thank you! Happy Bushwig 13!
