What am I allowed to vend at my booth?

As a standard non-food vendor, you may distribute materials promoting your organization or sell products related to your organization. You may sell items related to your business or artistry. If you are selling food for on-site consumption, please apply as a food vendor. You may NOT sell or distribute any food-related items or beverages including soda or water unless you’re registered as a food vendor. Alcohol distribution is not permitted. Music being played from booths will be monitored for volume to ensure our paid performers can be heard. If you have questions about food sales, please contact [email protected].

When is sunset?

On June 10, 2023, sunset will occur at 9:12 PM.

How will we get into the park?

If you are selected to be a vendor, you will check in the day before the Festival to receive your vendor packet. Each vendor will receive 8 vendor badges to be permitted in the park the day of the festival.

What do I get with my vendor registration?

With your basic package vendor registration, you will receive a 10×10 space, a table, 2 chairs, and 8 vendor badges that will serve as your tickets for the event. If you need more than a 10 x 10 space, then you need to pay for each 10 x 10 space that you need.

What if I need an extra table or chairs?

If you need more than what is offered in the basic vendor package you can add on various items. Items like extra tables, extra chairs, electricity for your booth, etc., will be included on the registration page.
