Q: What happens if it rains?
A: Our Market operates rain or shine, but we know that's not easy on you!  If we know in advance that weather will prohibit us from opening, we will record a message on the Market phone line, and send all confirmed vendors a message about closing the Market.  In some cases, we may offer a "Raincheck" for prepaid reservations.

Q: What kind of crowd can I expect at Atlantic Station? 
A: Many factors effect attendance on even given day: weather, special events, time of the year, etc. We can never predict what the exact attendance will be. But what we can do is show you some pictures of a typical weekend. Click on the link below to see some pictures:

DID YOU KNOW? Atlantic Station is a destination for vistors from across the country (and locals, too)!

Q: Can I change my reservation date?
A: We no longer offer this courtesy.  If you are unable to participate on the date of your reservation, you will need to make a new reservation online for the date of your choice.

Q: Can I arrive late or leave early?
A: All vendors are required to operate during the published hours of Market operation.  Late arrival could mean losing your space, and leaving early could mean that you may not return as a vendor!

Q: What if I already have a business license in Clayton County?  Do I still need a Decatur license, too?
A: As long as you hold a valid business license in the state of Georgia, you do NOT need to purchase a Decatur business license.  (Be sure your business license is current!)

Q: Can I set up early to have more time?
A: We need time to prepare for all Market participants, so please do not arrive earlier than the published time for set up unless you have made special arrangements with Management.

Q: What happens if I get a flat tire, or don't feel well and cannot come to the Market?
A: We appreciate your unique circumstances, but cannot prevent the unforeseen!  If you cannot join us on the date of your reservation, you lose your payment.  To make a new reservation, you will need to go online and reserve again. 

Q: If I paid for a reservation but was unable to participate on that date, can I use my "credit" for future dates?
A: We're sorry if you cannot join us on your reservation date, but we do not issue any "credit" for dates that have passed.

Q: If I don't bring a tent or weights, can I borrow them from you?
A: We have a limited supply of tents and weights for rent.  When available, we rent tents and weights for $25.

  * Please note that everyone is REQUIRED to have sufficient weights on their tent!

Q: When I make an online reservation, I receive an email saying "Awaiting Stock," then another saying "Complete."  What does this mean?
A: When we are processing your reservation, we enter your information into our database.  While we are doing this, we mark your order "Awaiting Stock" if we need to find out more about you.  This lets you know that it is being processed.  Once we're finished, we change the status of your order to "Complete" and you are confirmed.

Q: I sell pocketbooks, handbags and items that I purchased at the Merchandise Mart. Can I sell them there?
A: This is an art and handcraft market, so we DO NOT permit these items. We also have an agreement with the retail merchants at Atlantic Station not to sell these items.

Q: I woke up late and I am not going to be able to make it on the date of my reservation, so I need to reschedule.
A: We have a limited number of reservation spaces available, and while we would like to be able to accommodate your request, we are unable to do so as a result of short notice.

Q: My friend told me that I can be in the Holiday Shops.
A: To participate in the Holiday Shops event, you will need to complete an application and be accepted by the selection committee.  Go to: www.atlantaholidayshops.com
