Brand Activations
Brand Activations are opportunities for a larger designated area in the prime footprint to promote your brand and distribute product or information. In the past, we've had Verizon, Swimply, SmartWater, and more. We welcome brands, big or small, to activate both Saturday and Sunday in various designated areas. First come, first served. Not all locations are available both days. See map for prices.
Retail Vendors
Are you a Chamber member and want to pop-up on the sidewalk on Pier Avenue during Hermosa for the Holidays? We've got you covered—including existing retail storefronts AND virtual or remote businesses. All participating members, including pop-ups, are free with membership. Must be a Chamber member in good-standing before October 1, 2023 and follow guidelines set forth in application.
If you have an existing storefront on Hermosa Avenue or Pier Avenue, your application will default for the spot in front of your business. If you are outside the downtown area, or are a virtual/remote member, we will assign you space on the sidewalk.
Nonprofits - Giving Village
A fun tradition, our event offers prime location space to local nonprofit members to pop a tent and either promote their nonprofit, provide community games, or sell various goodies. This year there is a $25 charge to participate, but you supply all the goods.
