DRIVER
| Driver: Electric shuttle will be driving around First Fridays to take you to any of the participating businesses in Bixby Knolls for free! |
Vendor Policy:
We proudly showcase our business members. Please contact us if you are a paying member of the BKBIA and would like a booth.
Non-members:
In order to get a vendor space for First Fridays, you MUST be a member of our Business Improvement Association. The requirements for that are two-fold. You must first have a brick-and-mortar shop or office located within our district, and two, you must have a business license with the City of Long Beach and pay into our Association.
Our policy and contract with the City of Long Beach do not allow us to accept outside vendors because doing so creates competition with our paying members, congested sidewalks, and other issues.
Non-profit organizations, Religious, and Political Parties:
While we cannot support any religious or political parties, the First Amendment allows for freedom of speech. If you are a religious or political party, you may find space on the sidewalk on the west side of Atlantic Ave between Burlinghall Dr. and Carson St. If you are a non-profit organization, please contact the BKBIA directly to discuss a potential location to setup. There shall be NO blocking of sidewalks, ADA ramps or access ways, or blocking of any access to a business.
There is a $25 fee to get an approved tabling spot for non-profits that are non BKBIA members.
