About the application

This category is for local beer and wine vendors selling by the glass or pint. We will be accepting limited alcohol vendors for the 2023 festival.    Background: The 2022 Mush, Music & Mutts Festival had an estimated 15,000 in attendance. Our goal is to have a balanced mix of food vendors, arts and craft vendors, product vendors, and display vendors. 
 
Each standard vendor spot is approximately 12' x 12', allowing for a 10' x 10' setup plus a little additional space for merchandise or other items. Vendors are not to exceed the designated space. Vendors must provide all of their own supplies including tables, full table coverings, chairs, and/or tents.
 
BOOTH RATES DO NOT INCLUDE ELECTRICITY. MUST PURCHASE BOTH BOOTH and ELECTRICITY, if needed. You are responsible for providing your own extension cords and power strips if needed. Extension cords can’t be placed where hazards may be created.
