If you require electrical services for your booth, a request must be made in advance to the GMS office. A request does not guarantee additional electrical services. Each request will be considered individually.

Event Date: Saturday, December 6, 2025

• Payment: Vendor application will not be processed until payment is received in full.
• Vendor Approval: Gonzales Main Street (GMS) reserves the right to refuse any vendor and/or refuse any particular food item if it is not deemed appropriate, safe, or compliant with event standards. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance due to limited space.
• Health & Safety Requirements: Vendors must provide a current health permit or approval from the Texas Department of State Health Services (or local health authority) prior to the event. All food handling and preparation must comply with state and local health and safety regulations. Vendors may be asked to present documentation during check-in.
• Booth Space: Vendors will be provided a 16’ area. Vendors must contain their booth and equipment within this space. Vendors are responsible for all canopies, tables, chairs, cooking equipment, signage, and lights. Trailers larger than 16 feet must rent an additional space.
• Setup & Vehicle Access: Vendors may enter the festival closure area to set up on Saturday, December 6th at 12:00 PM. All vehicles must be removed from the area 30 minutes prior to the event start. Vendors may return 30 minutes after the event ends. No exceptions. This ensures safety for participants, vendors, and event crews.
• Fire Marshal Inspection: Vendor areas must be fully operational and compliant for inspection at the designated time prior to the event start. No cooking allowed under canopies. A valid fire extinguisher is required for all food vendors.
• Electrical Services: Vendors must provide their own electrical cords. 30amp and 50amp outlets available.
• Parking: No parking is allowed inside or around Independence Square. Vendors may park in Texas Hero Square, the church parking lot on St. Paul Street, or behind the Courthouse. Do not park in the 400 block of Saint Lawrence Street — fire department access must be maintained. Vehicles on the parade route will be asked to move by 6:00 PM.
• Sales Tax: Vendors are responsible for collecting and remitting Texas State Sales Tax as applicable.
• Booth Location Requests: Requests for specific booth locations do not guarantee placement. GMS will make every effort to accommodate requests but may need to adjust locations due to weather, electricity availability, or other logistics. Confirmed booth locations will be provided at check-in.
• No Rain Date / Refunds: There will be no rain dates, and no refunds will be issued.
• Conduct & Liability: GMS reserves the right to prevent future participation of any vendor whose conduct is deemed unacceptable or detrimental to the mission and reputation of GMS or the event. Vendors release GMS and the City of Gonzales from liability due to theft, breakage, injury, or bodily harm while at the event.
• Rule Violations: If any rules or regulations are violated, the vendor and all equipment will be immediately escorted from the property, not permitted to sell or set up, and no refund will be given.
