hello
Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the 2015 Movies in the Meadow Night Design Market.
Our mission is to create an enduring summer series that celebrates creation, innovation and community
on the mid-Peninsula and we hope you’ll consider joining this fun, family-friendly (and date-night!)
event. In addition to the curated night design market, the event includes a street food market, games,
music, a movie screening, picnic areas and a specialty beer + wine garden. The Night Design market
is a place for consumers to shop, peruse and become aware of your work in an aesthetically-pleasing
environment with like-minded brands and sponsors.
Our estimated attendance this year is ~3000 people per night. We hope you and your business will be
able to join us at one or both nights to benefit and contribute to the community. Please be in touch with
any questions!
Best,
Jeannine Bennecourt

One of the great things about the Movies in the Meadow Night Market is that you have the option to completely
customize your vending space to create an unforgettable experience for shoppers. We encourage you to get creative
and build out your space. Use the floor ( a well manicured park lawn), use the walls, use the rafter if need be. Please
bring everything you need to build out your space with you. This includes tables, rolling racks, chairs, hooks for wall
space, etc. To ensure design market consistency and our standards are met, we reserve the right to request changes
or modifications to booth displays even after set up. To minimize this risk, we recommend sending your merchandising
plans/concepts in advance (this is not required, just recommended for ease). Please take a look at the photos below to
get a feel for past customizations and expectations for our vending partners.
