Kid Market Application 2026

RULES & GUIDELINES 

PARTICIPATION 
Children must be 7 to 17 years old and able to run the booth without their adults interacting with the customers AT ALL. Parents and/or guardians can assist their child when needed, but children must be able to: 
1. Take/fulfill orders, and answer questions 
2. Take payment and make change. 

If your child cannot do these things with minimal help, either pare down the offering, or wait for a future date when they are able to do so. 

We welcome children with disabilities or special needs to participate with any necessary parental assistance! Please notify us at check-in. 

PARENT/GUARDIAN CODE OF CONDUCT 
1. DO NOT answer questions, take orders, handle food or money. You can assist your child when needed, but CANNOT engage customers directly. 
2. Parents/guardians CANNOT take payment. If you choose to use payment apps, teach your child how to use it beforehand. 
3. Parents/guardians are required to remain on the venue premises throughout the duration of the market. 
4. It is your responsibility to make sure all adults in your party are aware of and agree to the rules. 
5. Sit in the back of the booth, read a book, and act like you’re not listening! Removing yourself (figuratively speaking) is what makes this an incredible learning experience for your child.
6. Smoking, vaping, or consuming alcohol at the market is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. 

If parents/guardians do not adhere to these rules, it may result in their child being ineligible to participate in future events. 

PRODUCTS

CHECK-IN

BOOTHS

3. Children may sell different products in the same booth. 
4. Children bring all their own supplies (table, canopy, chairs, etc.). 
5. Canopies are recommended but not required and MUST be weighted down. Umbrellas work too! 
6. If children sell anything edible, they must bring a trash can for their customers. 
7. Power can be provided with advance notice to the Currents Marketing staff. We will not be setting power up the day of the event unless it has been requested and agreed to in advance.

3. There is no yelling to attract customers.
