Note:

Seller Forms are accepted until Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. or until all spaces are full.

The City of Lathrop will assign all sellers booth spaces. Booth spaces are approximately 18’ x 18’. Booth spaces are parking lot spaces and are not square. Some may be located on slightly uneven ground. Expect deviations in booth sizes and shape. The City of Lathrop Parks and Recreation Department reserves the right to move booth spaces in order to insure safety for event sellers and guests. Vendors must supply their own tables and chairs. Canopies may be used, but must stay within the sellers booth space. Electricity and water are not provided. No generators of any kind (Gas or Electric) or amplified sound of any kind will be allowed.

The City of Lathrop reserves the right to deny acceptance into the event, refuse set-up and/or sale of items based on the event intent and appropriateness. This is not a craft fair or event for commercial vendors. Items sold should be of a “garage sale” nature only. Any craft or commercial vendors will be asked to leave without a refund. No food, drinks, weapons, alcohol, drugs, drug/sexual paraphernalia, light-up toys or objects, or fireworks may not be sold at the event. Political campaigning will not be allowed.

All items must be placed inside designated sellers booth spaces. Items may not be placed in other vendor’s spaces or in designated walkways, sidewalks, planters, or grass/dirt.

Staff can be identified by their designated staff shirts. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. Staff are there to make the day go as smoothly as possible; however, they are not able to assist in unloading, set-up, or clean-up of sellers booth spaces.

Check-in at the City of Lathrop tent to be directed to your assigned space. Set-up is from 6:30 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. Sellers will only be able to unload from 6:30 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. No prior set-up is allowed. All vehicles must be removed from the area by 7:30 a.m. (No Exceptions) Please park on 5th Street or on neighboring streets (NOT in front of the park or inside the parking lot). This allows plenty of parking for buyers.

The garage sale is open to shoppers at 8:00am. Please understand that at any garage sale, early shoppers do come.

All vendors must begin cleaning up at 12:00 p.m. and will have their space completely clear by 1:00 p.m. No vehicles will be allowed within the event area until staff gives the all clear. Vendors are responsible for the removal of all trash and unsold items. If there are items left in sellers booth space, you will be billed a removal fee of $50 per half hour, and may jeopardize participation in future events. Sellers must check out with staff prior to leaving.

The City of Lathrop is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items; sale of items; handling of monies/making change; or personal liability during the event.
