J-FASHION COMMUNITY EVENTS
URSA MAJOR SWAP MEET
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10TH, 12 PM - 4 PM
SECONDHAND J-FASHION SALES
Looking to buy or sell secondhand J-fashion? Join us on Sunday, December 10th for the Ursa Major 2023 Swap Meet!
If you are interested in selling your items at the swap meet, please scroll down for more information about purchasing a table space.
The Ursa Major 2023 Swap Meet is a badged event. This means all shoppers and sellers must have a convention badge in order to participate. Due to our limited capacity, we may ask that you wait to enter until other shoppers leave in order to prevent overcrowding.
Time: Doors open for shoppers at 12pm noon
Location: The Imperial Ballroom (on the garden level of Hotel Kabuki)
This is an all-ages event, and there is no specific dress code (i.e., J-fashion attire is NOT required for entry)
Two private dressing rooms with mirrors will be available for your shopping convenience
The swap meet room is reserved only for sales by registered Swap Meet Sellers! We ask that attendees who have not purchased a table refrain from arranging their own sales inside the Imperial Ballroom during swap meet hours. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
FREEBIE STATION
We will also provide a space where anyone attending may leave items they plan to give away for free. Both shoppers and sellers are welcome to take items left here. If you do leave anything at this table, we ask that you please retrieve any of your remaining items left at the end of the swap meet. Anything not claimed by the end of the swap meet will be collected by event staff and donated.
