This is a month from tomorrow, but I figure since the weather is not conforming to many of the wonderful outdoor Portland events right now, you can start making things to barter. Plus, you should probably get your vendor/performer registration in soon if you want to participate.

Update From Website:: “THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUETO A LACK OF INTEREST ON BEHALF OF WARE VENDORS AS OF JUNE 17TH 2010.”

FREE EVENT

Portland City Faire is an eclectic festival inspired by the realization that citizens are brought together by community and celebration. The event is designed to be low cost for vendors, as we charge only what we need for basic festival operations, and the best part is that it is a FREE event for all in the community.

So what makes Portland City Faire different from other festivals? Great question…our purpose is to serve as a bridge to community members who are not familiar with, or would not normally participate in barter/trade. All products and services at the event (except food) are open to the public for barter and trade. Vendors and service providers are allowed to use traditional methods of payment, however we encourage barter and trade when and where ever possible.

Participate, Vend, Perform

Interested in vending, performing or teaching a workshop?

Here is what you need to know:

1.) You must make everything you wish to sell or barter (no commercial or wholesale items accepted).

2.) Though financial transactions will be accepted, this is a barter and trade event… so all vendors must be open to and willing to participate.

3.) Download, read, and fill out the event application and mail it in. (See vendor application)

VENDORS: All booth spaces are 10X10 in size. A booth space is a one time cost of $99 for the whole weekend. If you require more space you may purchase an additional 10X10 space for the same price. (See application for details).

In the spirit of barter and trade:

If you are a vendor who offers a product or service that will help out our festival, make us an offer and you may get your booth space for a reduced cost or for free!
