We’ll be serenaded by international and local musical acts throughout the day, and surrounded by screenings, exhibits and art installations.
A limited number of booths are available for booking NOW. Cost for a small booth is 300RMB, while large booths are 500RMB. We suggest that vendors also donate 10% of their profits to our official JUE Festival charity partner Morning Tears, but of course, this is completely optional.
