Vendors will be asked for a brief description of their business or offering, confirmation of availability for First Friday days, an elevator pitch about the business or products, and a price range. Additionally, vendors will need to submit photos of the products or offerings and a certificate of insurance (COI) naming the Town of North Beach as additional insured.

Any interested vendors can fill out the online form or pick up a physical form to submit at North Beach Town Hall.
