What is Second Saturdays?
UPDATE: Second Saturdays is on hiatus until further notice.
Second Saturdays is Downtown Campbell’s monthly vendor pop up event spiced up with live music. It happens on (you guessed it) the second Saturday of each month from 1pm-5pm. Please note that this is not a closed off street event. We typically place 15-20 vendors in front of local businesses and street corners spread across 3 blocks downtown. The event is advertised on Downtown Campbell’s website and to our newsletter subscribers.
Requirements for Vendors
You must have a current California Sellers Permit Number. Sellers permits are free and can be obtained online through the State Board of Equalization (SBOE). If you do not already have a California State Seller Permit Number, apply for one here: https://onlineservices.cdtfa.ca.gov/eserv/?Link=BusinessActivity
Participating vendors are asked to make a $25 donation to the Downtown Campbell Business Association (a 501c6) for Second Saturdays. This donation goes to help fund live music, cover liability insurance, and advertising. No other fees, including commission fees, are required.

Confirming Your Participation
Once we receive your application and determine your craft is suitable for this event, your name will be placed on the list for the month(s) specified. If you are selected to participate, we ask that you confirm participation by making your $25 donation within 3 days. You must email back confirming your donation has been made to secure your spot. If we do not hear back from you within 3 days, your space may be offered to another vendor. Once payment has been made we will send you further instructions on your location assignment.
Additional info
You must commit to participating for the entire event. Second Saturdays is advertised as 1- 5pm and set up starts at 12pm. Please allow ample time so that you are fully set-up by 1pm. Tear-down can begin after 5pm.
Before setting up, check in with the business you’re in front as they may have additional placement instructions. You are allowed up to a 6 foot table in your designated location and up to 2 small displays as long as they do not block the sidewalk and are under 4 feet tall. Not all locations will have an overhang. If you need to bring a canopy this must be noted in your application submission so we can place you in a location that can accommodate one. Your canopy set up can not block/hinder visibility of the store fronts. You must provide your own tables, chairs, display, extension cords etc. Space is limited and placement is strategically arranged so it is imperative that you set up only in the designated location you are assigned.
