Merchandise Vendor

Hello Vendor,

You are invited to again participate in the 65th Salado Scottish Gathering and Highland Games on November 13th,14th & 15th, 2026. A Vendor application and the Vendor rules are attached to this submission.

This year’s event will be held on Salado Creek near Barrow Brewing. The address is 108 Royal Street, Saldo, TX.

Vendors will have an opportunity to be open to the public on Friday. You may set up on Thursday or early Friday morning and be open for sales on Friday. (Details in the contract) The vendor area is near the parade field where the Friday night Calling of the Clans takes place. Please make sure you indicate when you plan to set up.

With each passing event, we learn more and more about what works and what doesn’t. For 2026, we will be extending invitations only to those we feel bring the most positive good to the Gathering. We hope the 65th will be more successful than ever!

This year, all vendors will be required to complete the "Itinerant/Peddler Vendor Permit Application for the Village of Salado; however, you will not be required to pay the $100.00 to be a vendor at the Gathering in addition to our vendor fees. A copy of the application is included with some information marked out as we will provide. So please read carefully and complete all the information required, sign and date before returning. All vendors are required to submit a proof of insurance, your EIN or SSN, and a copy of your Texas Sales Tax permit. You will not need to complete the Business Property Owner Permission form as we will provide to the Village.

You may mail a check to the address provided or call the office about electronic payments. There will be additional charges for online payments. This event is a fund-raising event for Salado Museum and College Park, a 501(c) 3 non-profit. Again, you are welcome to mail your application for no additional charges. We will notify you when your application is received.

Every booth has a 5’ buffer area on either side that may be shared with your neighbor for tie ropes and guy lines.  We will assume the larger dimension of your booth will be the front unless you specify otherwise.

There will be some electrical hook-ups available. You may use your own generator, but excessively loud generators will not be allowed.

Two admission tickets per booth will be provided at no charge. If more than 2 associates are needed for the event, tickets will need to be purchased. Parking is not available at your space.
