Sharing of booth space with different Artists/Merchants/and Restaurants is permissible as long as EACH participating party pays the required $45 or $65 fee. NO refunds will be given due to merchant, restaurant or artist inability to participate. Please submit your application and fees as soon as possible as space is limited. Kokua Kailua goes on Rain or Shine. We do not reschedule rain days. NO refunds are made to vendors due to inclement weather, including rain.
Booth Space Assignments / Selection
Booth spaces will be a maximum of 10’ x 10’. All Exhibitors are required to keep their display within these boundaries. Signs are not to exceed the size of the space. Pop-up tents are highly recommended. You are required to have a covered table (or display stand) and display must not interfere with neighboring booth.
Final location of each Exhibitor will be assigned at 3:00pm the Friday prior to that month’s event. Efforts will be made to accommodate specific requests for booth location however there is NO guarantee for any certain location. District merchants and restaurants are offered priority selection in booth spaces, the pool of general applicants will compete for the remaining spaces. Changes in stall assignment locations and the selection of applicants may be made at the discretion of management for the benefit of the overall operation.
Booth space assignments will be EMAILED by 3pm the Friday before the event, please check your spam/junk folders as the file is fairly large and sometimes gets directed to those folders. If you do not receive the email by 3pm Friday, it is the responsibility of the vendor to make sure to contact the event coordinator for their booth assignment. Booth assignment numbers are from 1-115 and will be marked on the ground.
Waiting List
If we are fully booked for the event, Merchants and Restaurants within KVBID will have first priority for booth space, selection, and waiting list; all other entries will be placed on a waiting list on a first come first serve basis and at the discretion of the Kokua Kailua Committee. Event Coordinator will email you if you are on the waiting list and will call or email you all the way up until the day of the event if a space should become available. Refunds will be issued to those vendors who do not clear the waiting list.
Set-up and Tear-down
All vendors are required to make a 4.25"X 11" (half of a letter size sheet of paper) sign to put in your car, write "VENDOR" and place on your dashboard. This will help the police determine if you are a vendor or not.
Road closure will take place for each event at 12:30pm. Exhibitors will be allowed to drop off materials and set up their booths from 12:30-12:45pm. NOTHING is allowed to be on the sidewalks or roads prior to 12:30pm. If you unload earlier, you will be given a citation and asked to leave if you do not cooperate. Be there on time, as NO cars will be allowed to enter
the area after 12:45pm. Roads will reopen at 6:30 pm; therefore, tear-down will start at 6:00pm (no sooner) and all items need to be off the road by 6:30pm. Failure to comply with this rule may cause the shut-down of the event; therefore, strict enforcement will take place.
STARTING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH: South End booths (Hualalai Rd. to ABC: 1 through 39): Set up your booths as close to the mountain side, without encroaching onto the sidewalks. Central Booths (From ABC to the start of the Seawall 40 through 74): Set up on the Oceanside, without encroaching onto the sidewalks.

Parking
All vehicles must be off the closed road by 12:45pm. There is NO PARKING PERMITTED on the closed portion of the road, driveways or roadway entries during this event.
