 Added Guidelines : 

Hi vendors,

This is a reminder and update to ensure that if you haven't familiarized yourselves with the rules and guidelines, you visit our website under the Events tab, where you can find the Merry Cemetery Popup information and read up on it again. There is a map and additional rules provided by the LAFD Fire Inspector.

If you are going to cook, warm up food, or prepare beverages, you MUST bring a fire extinguisher. The heating element or warming appliances you are using must be positioned behind you, away from the front patrons and the canopy.

There will be 10 feet of space for every 5 canopies, allowing for better separation to facilitate walking or to provide space in case of an emergency. If you do not follow these existing and added guidelines, you will not be allowed to participate, and the fire inspector will shut you down and ask you to leave.

We want all vendors to have a great experience while maintaining safety for our visitors as well. Thank you.
