Frequently asked questions
is there an entry fee?
Nope! All of our 2nd Saturday events are completely free to the public! So bring the whole family and come have a good time with all of Lucedale!
Where should i park?
Great question! Only a portion of Main Street will be blocked off for our 2nd Saturday events, to allow all of our food vendors & craft booths to set up before the event starts. There are quite a few parking lots within walking distance of the event, and you are free to park there! Those are located on Commerce St that runs parallel to Main Street, on London St behind Landmark Cafe, and parking will also be available on Oak St, which runs parallel to Commerce St.
What are the event hours?
Most of our events will be from 5pm - 8pm. Be sure to follow our Downtown Merchants of Lucedale Facebook page for more specified event hours!
Where is the event located?
All of our events will be located on Main Street Lucedale. Our fantastic Lucedale Police Department will block off the road to through-traffic a few hours before the event starts!
How do i sign up to be a vendor?
At the top of our website, on the right hand side, there is a ‘Vendor Application’ button. Click that, fill out the form for submission, & Downtown Merchants will get with you about payment, vendor location, & events that are open to vendors!
What are the vendor/booth fees?
Food vendors are $100 per event, and craft vendors are $55 per event. In the Vendor Application form, you can choose which months or events you want to apply to set up at!
Do you accept fundraising booths?
Unfortunately, we do not accept fundraising in the form of a booth. We do have a couple of our 2nd Saturdays that are Fundraising Events, such as Thunder on Main! These events are organized by a fundraising organization that partners with Downtown Merchants and 2nd Saturday. If you’re interested in organizing an event on a 2nd Saturday for 2023, please send us an email with all information, and we will get back with you!
What type of vendors/booths do you accept?
We accept Licensed Food Vendors and Craft Vendors. Craft vendors are handmade items, boutique items, and other vendors in those categories. No food unless it is canned jellies or sauces.
