This event will be held on November 25th. There will be a registration fee for this event that is non-refundable. We will be open to the public from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with Victoria Washington at washingtonv@carteret.edu.

This event will be held in the McGee parking lot. Each vendor will be assigned one space (a 10x10 tent will fit). Each vendor must provide a general description of what they are selling; this will help eliminate having vendors side by side selling the same product or service.

Vendors are responsible for their own tables, tent, and chairs. Please make sure that you have weights on your tents to secure them. Outlets and electricity will not be provided.

HOURS OF OPERATIONS Saturday, November 25, 2023 from 11:00am to 6:00pm. Vendor understands that the Small Business Holiday Market & Street Fair is hosted by the For ME (Minority Entrepreneurs) Networking Group through the Carteret CC Small Business Center. The event will take place on the Carteret Community College Campus, 3505 Arendell Street, Morehead City, NC 28557. All businesses are welcome. You do not have to be a minority-owned business to be a vendor.

CHECK-IN / SETUP You can check in and set up between 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM. Please let us know if you need to arrive sooner for setup. All setups must be completed by 10:00 AM. You can drive your vehicle to your space to set up, but you must have your vehicle in the separate designated vendor parking lot by 10 A.M.

BREAKDOWN When it's time to break down, you will be able to bring your cars to your spot no earlier than 6:00 PM. When entering and exiting, please use the traffic patterns to keep traffic jams to a minimum when breaking down.
