First, we’re bummed that you can’t attend the festival anymore! Second, please let us know as soon as possible since we have a waitlist of vendors for our events.
Keep in mind all deposits and payments are final.
No, we have a specific number of vendor categories that are allotted for each event. Space sharing is not acceptable nor can you replace your booth with someone else. All booths must be individually registered for the event by filling out their own application and be accepted by the sales team.
All of our festivals are Rain or Shine. Only in the case of extreme weather, will a festival be postponed to a later date. No refunds are given if you cannot make the rescheduled date, however you can move your payments to another festival.
In general, we have Friday set up times from 12-5pm and Saturday 8am-11am. However, this can change based on the needs and policies of the venue. Please refer to your Event Manual about these details.
Vendors are not permitted to breakdown their booths until the conclusion of the event. If you leave before the end of the festival, you will be removed from future events with no refund given.
Every festival venue has different policies on cars/trucks within the festival grounds, and can even change its rules year to year. Please refer to your Event Manual about these details.
Booth Spaces are assigned ahead of time by the sales team and show management with a lot of factors in mind. You cannot pick your booth space ahead of time, but if you have specific requests (ex: “I want to be next to XYZ Vendor” “I am familiar with this venue and like this area”) feel free to let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.
Booth assignments are given out when you arrive to set up at the festival. Due to the complexity of our events and the venues, the layouts of the festival is subject to change, and vendors may have their booth moved to a different location with the festival grounds.
Since we handle so many events throughout the year, we try to focus on the most upcoming festivals at a time. The sales team will send out the Event Manual with the festival information about 3-4 weeks before each upcoming festival date. If you have not received anything by that time frame, please check your spam folder first, and then reach out to make sure it hasn’t been missed.
Registration for each festival ends 2 weeks before the specific event. However, specific vendor categories can fill up months in advance, so early registration is suggested.
Hand-Crafted Artist Vendors is our catch all for vendors selling goods. Whether that is art, hot sauces, dog treats, wood crafts, jewelry, and everything else in between. Commercial Vendors are vendors who are selling services and promotional booths. Alcohol Vendor are our sampling suppliers and partners.
Food Concession Vendors are our main food selling vendors. If you are a one item food vendor such as fresh popped kettle corn or bacon on a stick, you will be considered a Hand-Crafted Artist Vendor.
We accept all forms of credit cards and debit cards, or we can issue a PayPal invoice.
Payment is due upon registration once you have been accepted into your requested events. You can choose to either pay the 50% deposit for the full balance for your events. If choosing the 50% deposit, the remaining balance is due 30 days before the festival and the card listed on the application will be charged.
No vendor space is held without the 50% deposit paid.
Please allow for about a week to hear back about your submitted application. During a busy festival season, hundreds of applications can come through our inbox and it can take some time process them all. If accepted into the events, the sales team will send an acceptance email confirming your business for the requested festivals.
If it has been over a week and you have not heard from the sales team, first please check your spam
folder. If still nothing, please reach out to [email protected] to make sure your application was received.
