THE HOLIDAY MARKET

AT COLUMBUS CIRCLE
DECEMBER 1 – 24, 2010
CENTRAL PARK AT COLUMBUS CIRCLE

You are cordially invited to apply to Urban Space’s Seventh Holiday

Market at Columbus Circle, an event located directly across

from the Time Warner Center, at the Merchants’ Gate (southwest)

entrance to Central Park. We seek better quality merchandise in all

major gift categories. Our goal in the selection process is to create

an unusual, exciting product mix for the Market customers. This

event is a one-stop destination for the best designers, retailers, non-

profits and small manufacturers; it is an eclectic, energetic, New York

shopping environment—an antidote to the superstore.

Booths & Staffing
All booths must be staffed during Market hours. Each
booth is an independent covered structure measuring
approximately 9 feet 10 inches wide by 5 feet 10 inches
deep by 7 feet 3 inches high (most double booths are twice
the width and half booths, half the width). The booths are
water-resistant with front flaps that can be closed in the
evenings. The backs and sides of the booths have wood
walls for wind protection and security. The booth fronts
have an overhang to create a dryer and more comfortable
environment for shoppers. Each booth will be equipped
with a raised wooden floor, turf carpeting, sign with your
company name and electrical outlet strip. You will be
responsible for all decorations, furniture, lighting, and fixtures
inside the booth, and these are subject to Urban Space
management approval. Please remember that it will not be
possible to completely control temperature and moisture
conditions inside the booths.

Security
The Market will be closed and locked after hours. After
closing no one will be allowed into the Market and security
will patrol the Market area. In addition, the Market is under
24-hour video surveillance.

Promotion
The Market will be promoted with on-site signage, visible to
the thousands of pedestrians and vehicles which circulate
around Columbus Circle every day. The Market is a magnet
for media coverage during the holiday season. Previous
markets have been broadcasted on the news and weather
segments of most of the local TV networks and covered by
The New York Times, Daily News, Time Out New York and
other local and web-based media. Outdoor signage, along
with the colorful booths themselves, makes the Market hard
to miss for anyone traveling around Columbus Circle.

Early birds will be able to take advantage of last year’s
fees if fully paid by Wednesday, September 15, 2010.
Until September 15, a single booth costs $8,450 for the
entire period; a half booth costs $4,725. The cost per booth
