General Merchant Information
Kingston Pirate Festival held on the property of the Port of Kingston. Products sold, distributed or
displayed should be appropriate for the Festival standards.
Merchant space is assigned first-come-first-serve based on the information you indicate on the
Merchant Application (festival reserves the right to adjust/move as necessary). Merchants are responsible
for set-up and take-down of their own space(s).
Merchants who break contract by leaving early without arrangements to do so will be uninvited to
future events.
Merchants, in appropriate garb, must be ready for business by opening and keep spaces
staffed continuously until closing. We do not have volunteers to staff your booth for breaks. So
Neither the Kingston marina nor Kingston Pirate Festival are responsible for any loss or theft.
