Pop-up vendor faq

Green Acres is a seasonal food truck park and outdoor music venue in Downtown Boise, open during the warmer months. Our goal is to create a casual, lively space where the community can gather for food, drinks, live music, and good company while supporting local food trucks, vendors, and musicians.

We host a wide mix of guests, from families with kids to casual hangout crowds, making Green Acres a great place for vendors looking for visibility, connection, and good vibes. We’re especially excited to work with local makers, artists, small businesses, and interactive pop-ups that add something fun, creative, or engaging to the park.

About Green Acres

AVAILABLE SHIFTS

Tuesday Night Market (June 2 – August 4)

Our Tuesday Night Market is a 10-week series designed specifically for pop-up vendors, makers, and artists.

  • 5pm - 9pm

  • $30 per market

  • 12-20 vendors

These nights have a great community feel with live music, food trucks, and a lot of guests exploring vendor booths.

If you're interested in committing to multiple Tuesday markets:

  • Book at least 5 Tuesday markets and receive a discounted rate of $25 per market

  • Tuesday vendors must be open and ready for the public from 5pm to close. If you would like to set up earlier, just let us know!

Standard Flat Fee Daily Pricing

We host pop up vendors each day we are open. We also host different rotating food trucks and feature live music every day we are open so each day is its own mini “festival” of its own accord.

*Holiday weekends and special events may have adjusted pricing

Standard Percentage of Sales Pricing

Some vendors pay a percentage of their sales instead of a flat fee. This applies to:

  • Experiential vendors who charge per customer, examples include face painting, caricature art, permanent jewelery, etc.

  • Vendors selling ready‑to‑eat food or beverages on-site

    • because we are a food truck park and already have on‑site food and beverage partners, any pop‑up selling ready‑to‑eat food pays a percentage of sales rather than a flat booth fee.

What Your Vendor Fee Includes

Each booking includes a 10x10 vendor space at Green Acres, plus our vendor exposure package, which includes:

  • Placement on our weekly schedule post (shared Mondays) with your business tagged on Instagram and Facebook

  • A feature on our daily schedule post (shared the day before your shift) introducing your business and what you offer, also shared to our IG/FB Stories

  • Inclusion in our weekly schedule newsletter (sent Mondays) with a short description of your business

  • When time allows, we love to reshare stories you tag us in

How does vendor scheduling work?

We do our best to schedule vendors on the days they request, but final decisions are based on creating a good variety and mix of vendors for the park. For example, we typically would not schedule two vendors selling the same type of product (like handcrafted candles) on the same day.

  • Tuesday through Friday: Vendors may open earlier than the standard 5pm start time. If you would like an earlier opening time publicized, please notify our team at least 2 weeks in advance.

  • Saturday and Sunday: Vendors booked for an all day shift may choose their own operating timeframe (for example, 12–7pm). Please communicate your hours at least 2 weeks in advance. If no timeframe is provided, we will default to publishing hours that match park open to close (typically around 10:30am–9pm).

If you plan to start later or end earlier than the timeframe we publish, please let us know at least 2 weeks in advance so we can accurately promote your booth hours.

Event Details + Arrival Information

To help your day run smoothly, we’ll send a reminder email at least one week before your shift with important details for your arrival and setup, including:

  • Parking information for vendors

  • Load-in instructions and recommended arrival timing

  • Your vendor location within the park

  • Any event-specific notes or updates for that day

If you have questions before your shift, our team is always happy to help.

VENDOR GUIDELINES

To keep the park welcoming and easy to explore for guests, we ask that vendors:

  • Keep signage and displays within their designated booth space

  • Allow guests to discover your booth naturally rather than approaching tables. Vendors cannot solicit tables.

  • Bring their own tent, weights, setup materials, and take care of their setup and takedown

  • Green Acres is an outdoor venue, so tents and proper weights are important.

  • If you require power, we will work with you directly to accommodate

  • We expect that the vendor arrives early enough to give themselves ample time to ensure they are open and ready for the public at their scheduled time. Please do not be late

  • Vendors that are consistently late or do not stay for the entire shift length risk having all their remaining dates canceled.

All vendors will be asked to sign a standard Pop Up Vendor Contract which reflects all the details on this webpage.

Cancellation + Weather Policy

  • We ask for at least 2 weeks notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.

  • Cancellations and rescheduling requests made within 2 weeks of your scheduled date are non-refundable.

  • For vendors paying on the percentage of sales model - the cancellation fee is the booth minimum for that shift.

  • Because Green Acres is an outdoor venue, if the park closes due to rain, smoke, or heavy winds, vendors can either reschedule their shift or request a refund.
