VENDOR SPACES
This year, we will offer vendor spaces for the entirety of the event at a heavily discounted rate BUT you are still able to submit for single days. This decision has been carefully made to optimize the flow of our space and establish a more efficient organizational structure for all participating vendors. By ensuring continuous presence throughout the festival, we aim to enhance the overall experience for vendors and attendees alike, creating a vibrant and smoother event for everyone involved.
TENT SPACES: Each vendor will be allocated a space measuring 10FT wide x 10FT in depth, curated throughout the ARTS DISTRICT section of the Famous Food Festival. The exact placement of your space will be internally decided, and vendors will not have the option to change spaces during the event.
We will only offer a limited number of 30 exclusive vendor spaces per day. This intentional decision is driven by our commitment to ensuring a high-quality and well-curated experience for both vendors and attendees. We aim to limit the number of similar businesses to avoid competition and repetition among featured vendors at our event.
