Youth Pride Application

Community Values & Inclusion

Chattanooga Youth Pride is an LGBTQ-affirming event. All vendors must be supportive, inclusive, and/or allied with the LGBTQ+ community in both conduct and presentation. Displays, products, or behavior that promote discrimination, hate, harassment, or exclusion will not be permitted and may result in removal from the event without refund.

Refund & Cancellation Policy

All vendor fees are non-refundable, regardless of weather, scheduling conflicts, sales outcomes, or vendor cancellation.
If the market must be postponed or relocated, existing vendor registrations will transfer to the rescheduled event.  In some instances, the vendor fee will be allowably rolled to the reschedule date or other vending dates (in 2026 ONLY). This will only happen by approval from the excecutive director and market manager.

Vendor Categories & Product Guidelines

Vendors must accurately represent their products during application and day-of participation.

Booth Conduct & Sound Policy

Vendors must maintain a professional, respectful, and safe presence throughout the event.
Excessive noise or amplified sound from vendor booths is not permitted, as it may interfere with neighboring vendors or event programming.

Setup, Space, & Operations

Vendors are responsible for their own setup, displays, staffing, and sales processing.
Booth placement is assigned by the event team and may not be altered without approval.
Vendors must follow load-in and load-out instructions and remain for the full event unless otherwise approved.
 

Liability & Responsibility

Vendors participate at their own risk. Seed Theatre and Odd Market organizers are not responsible for loss, theft, damage, injury, equipment failure, or damage to tents/structures/equipment/produce due to weather or other conditions beyond reasonable control.
