FAQs

FAQ

Q. Do you have to be a member to come?

A. No, Ladies Night Out is open to the community and although it is an event that celebrates women, all are welcome!

Q. Will the event be canceled if it rains?

A. No, Ladies Night Out is a Rain or Shine event. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be moved inside.

Q. Can anyone be a vendor?

A. Yes, for the most part. In order not to duplicate brands and create a diverse marketplace, vendors are first-come first-served. We do focus on women-owned or women-centric local businesses, craftspeople, and other nonprofits to join us in our makers market. Areas of focus include fashion, health & beauty, self-care, home, decor, and arts & crafts. Once approved, vendors complete a vendor agreement and submit their booth fee of $75.

Q. What does this event support?

A. Great question! A portion of the proceeds from Ladies Night supports the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program.
