2026 Carver County Pride Festival

Vendor registration opens on March 15, 2026, and will remain open until all booth spaces are filled. Prospective vendors will have the opportunity to complete an application and join the waitlist after booth spaces are sold out if they wish to secure a potential booth space in the event that one becomes available. A notice will be added to this information section to inform those planning to apply when the application availability changes to “waitlist only”.

 

Credit card information will be collected at the time you submit your application. Your card will be charged upon approval to participate in the 2026 Carver County Pride Festival.

 

About Carver County Pride

 

Carver County Pride is a family-friendly, 501c3 non-profit organization which will focus on providing awareness of the Carver County LGBTQIA2S+ Community, and connecting all community members with resources that will enrich their lives, and connect them to the amazing people they share this wonderful county with.

 

We welcome vending businesses and organizations who affirm and support our mission. Carver County Pride wishes to create an environment that celebrates the gathering of a community, while remembering our history and all who have gathered before us:
