Vendor Application

WE ARE CURRENTLY SOLD OUT OF VENDOR BOOTH SPACES FOR MARCH 2026! ALL APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED WILL BE SENT TO THE WAIT LIST. YOUR SELECTED PAYMENT METHOD WILL NOT BE CHARGED UNLESS YOU ARE EVENTUALLY MOVED TO THE ACCEPTED LIST.

Be sure to read this entire page. Submission of your application represents acceptance of these terms.

If you are a member of a non-profit organization in the Elberta area and you would like a free non-profit booth space, please submit a non-profit application.

If you are a food vendor and would like to submit a food vendor application, please submit a food vendor application. We do not define "craft" foods such as freeze dried candy, baked goods, jams/jellies, honey, spices, etc. as food vendors. If you are unsure, please email us at festival@elbertagsf.com.

Booth spaces are assigned on a first-come first-served basis, with return vendors having priority. Once we are sold out of spaces, vendors may sign up for the waitlist if a spot comes open.

If you are a return vendor, but you are requesting a different type or different quantity of booth(s) from your previous Festival, you will not be guaranteed your previous booth space assignment. The reason for this is to achieve what you have requested, and what you requested may not be possible in the same area you were in previously.

Once your application has been processed and you have been approved, NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED. 

The festival will be held March 28, 2026 from 8am-5pm in the Elberta Town Park in Elberta, AL.

VENDOR CHECK IN WILL BE HELD THE DAY BEFORE THE FESTIVAL. THERE WILL BE NO VENDOR CHECK IN THE DAY OF THE FESTIVAL. THE VENDOR CHECK IN TIME FOR MARCH 2026 WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT A LATER DATE. WE ARE CURRENTLY STUDYING THE FEASIBILITY OF AN ENHANCEMENT TO THE FESTIVAL THAT MAY IMPACT THIS. 

Booth spaces are 10'x10'. We do not provide tents or tables; we only provide a space for your to setup. We cannot guarantee that exact or similar items will not be sold in proximity to your booth, although, we do try our very best to spread vendors out.

All vehicles must be outside of the event barricades by 8am the day of the festival. Any vehicles still inside the event perimeter after 8am (anywhere inside of barricades, chains, gates, etc) will be towed at owner's expense. Any vehicle parked in front of/in the immediate area of barricades, chain gates, and/or driveways will also be towed. Handicap parking is reserved around the Police Department, Civic Center, and the Municipal Complex across from the Town Park. If you are parked in a handicap area without proper legal designation on your vehicle, it will be towed at owner's expense.

Vehicles are not allowed back into the event perimeter until 5pm the day of the event, unless allowed by Festival Staff. No parking is allowed at Town Hall or on Town of Elberta property unless the vehicle has proper legal designation for handicap parking, or otherwise arranged with the Town.

We are not responsible for any injuries, theft, accidents, or weather events.

You are responsible for collecting sales tax at 11%. All applicable State of Alabama and Baldwin County business and/or vendor licenses must be acquired prior to the festival. If you already have a valid Baldwin County business license, you will also need a transient vendor license to operate at the festival. If your tax account with the county is delinquent, you will not be allowed to check in until it is made current, and your booth space fee will not be refunded. For more information regarding licensing, please call (251) 990-4633, or e-mail salesandusetax@baldwincountyal.gov. Failure to obtain proper business license sections may result in citations from the Baldwin County License Enforcement Department. We also reserve the right to not allow your business to operate at the festival if you have not acquired the proper licenses.

Tax paperwork can be downloaded in the Related Files section below. It will no longer be handed out at vendor check in.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to deny participation for any reason. There are absolutely NO REFUNDS unless you are expelled from the Festival. If you have any other questions you may call, or e-mail festival@elbertagsf.com for a faster response. We expect all vendors to abide by the terms listed in this application. Failure will result in expulsion from the event. We reserve the right to make administrative changes to booth space assignments at our discretion. 

Please do not contact Elberta Town Hall regarding your application; they do not handle the applications, and cannot give you any information regarding status.

While some companies such as Essential Oils, Scentsy, Color Street, Paparazzi, etc. may have rules that only one of their vendors may attend an event, we do not enforce the rules of any 3rd party.
