Special Mardi Gras Farmers Market at Belmont-DeVilliers on Feb. 9


Special Mardi Gras Farmers Market !!!
Ÿ  401 N. Reus Street
Ÿ  2/9/2013
Ÿ  8:00-2:00

WHAT  is the SPECIAL MARDI GRAS FARMERS MARKET???
As announced by the DIB, there will be no Palafox Market on February 9, 2013, due to the Mardi Gras Parade to be held on that day.
An alternative “Special Mardi Gras Farmers Market“ (2/9/2013) will be located at 401 N. Reus St.  This one time market event  is available as a service to the community through Truth for Youth as a result of existing market vendor requests and  in order to sustain the market vendor and community patron product sales and delivery relationships which have become such a standard part of the Saturday experience in Pensacola.
Created by volunteers familiar with the regular market, the alternative market is not sponsored by the DIB and the location is directly outside of the DIB district. It is, however, within the boundaries of the CRA, one of the parent entities of the Market.
Special Mardi Gras Farmers Market will be held at a location in close proximity and with ease of access relative to the regular market location - with consideration of impact to parade experience, parking and restricted vehicular access to the downtown area on that day.  (Many normal downtown vehicular routes will be closed on 2/9 due to parade route; available open spaces are being utilized for parking, float preparation and line-up needs with the area normally permitted for the market blocked as part of the parade route.) 

WHO can participate? 
Current vendors on the approved Palafox Market vendor list will be given priority participation/ reservation. Should vacancies remain, organizers will evaluate additional Special Market Applicants along similar standards as those in place for the Palafox market.   Palafox Market vendors will be given priority participation at current Approved Palafox Market Vendor daily fee rate.  Other Special Market Applicants approved for this one time event only will pay a $15.00 fee for the event.  (There is no relationship implied nor established with Palafox Market by anyone receiving Special Market Applicant approval for the Special Mardi Gras Market!!)

WHERE???
The Special Mardi Gras Farmers Market will be situated in the parking lot of the Belmont Building…entrance at 401 N. Reus Street.  (Some of you may know this building as the Truth for Youth Resource Learning Center, former Smith Bakery complex, The Window Factory Building, or the former Belmont Arts Center.)  It is located across the street from the popular Five Sisters Café in the Belmont Devilliers neighborhood.  Customer parking is available along neighboring streets, and in public lots within the area.
         Water, electricity, restrooms and vendor soda machine are available on site.  Additionally, the fabulous Blue Dot Café, Food for the Soul @ Devilliers Cafe and previously mentioned Five Sisters Café are nearby.  Special events hosted by other neighboring entities may provide additional activities of interest to market patrons.
