Vendors are responsible for collection of Georgia sales tax. Food vendors must display a sign with menu and prices. If a vendor does not display menu and prices, they will be subject to removal from FESTIVAL. Vendors are responsible for handling their own sales and should plan to have change and other financial necessities.
The Creative Arts Guild will provide electricity; electrical cords must be provided by vendors. Recommended cord length is 100 feet. You may begin setting up on Friday if necessary. Vendors are expected to remain open during FESTIVAL hours, Saturday, 10-5 and Sunday 11-5.
Unless the vendor is a food truck, all cars, trucks, and trailers should be off the grounds and be in an approved vendor parking area one hour prior to opening each day. Vendors are not allowed to park cars, trucks or trailers around the FESTIVAL street site. If you need to restock during FESTIVAL, every effort will be made for one of our volunteers to assist you.

In order to do this, we require each food vendor to provide an accurate and complete listing of the food items and beverages you wish to serve with prices.
