Booth Requests and Pricing

General Global Marketplace booths begin at 10' x 10' and may be combined to create larger spaces (such as 10' x 20' or 10' x 30'). To create a 10' x 20' corner, please select 1 inline booth and 1 corner booth. Plaza View spaces located at the front of the Global Marketplace are sold in increments of 10' x 20' only. All general and Plaza View Global Marketplace booths include tenting and basic 4amp/120volt power.

Spaces located on the Main Street Circle are generally 10' x 10' or 10' x 20' and include basic 4amp/120volt power. Please note, tenting is NOT PROVIDED for Main Street Circle spaces. This area is ideal for Vendors with their own branded tenting or trailers.

All Commercial Vendor spaces are located outdoors. The Marin County Fair does NOT offer indoor vending spaces and is NOT responsible for local weather conditions during the Fair. Please plan accordingly for an outdoor Fair.

Though best efforts will be made by Fair staff, booth/space requests are not guaranteed.
