Vendor Info

The merchant circle is the daytime heart of the gathering, with many folks hanging out and even holding music jams, poi lessons, and other social activities there.  At night before the fires are lit, there is usually a wonderful drum jam and fire spinning, and if you have battery-operated lighting you are welcome to stay open up until a half hour before the fire circle begins if you wish.
 
Vending spaces are no charge for one 10 X 10 to 10 X 20 space (you must bring your own tent). If you require more than this for your wares, you may pay a $20 fee for anything larger, subject to approval by the vender coordinator. You may camp at your merchant space if you wish (in your vending tent - there is no room for additional tents). All vendors are required to have adequate cover for their items; we recommend something that includes protection from the rain.
 
Please know that we actively work to make sure there is as little direct overlap between vendor offerings as we can, and that might mean that we contact you with questions about your wares or, if necessary, to decline your vending application.  Do feel welcome to contact the vending coordinator if you want to make sure there is room for your booth, and please also know that we give priority to folks in the order that they register for the event.
 
All vendors must register as participants for the festival. When your registration is paid and confirmed, make sure you send an email with your name, the name of your booth, and a description of your setup and what you are selling to the registrar or Jeanette Ladores (you can do so via the contact page on this site) as soon as possible. 
 
As a merchant you can choose to accept any kind of currency you are comfortable with. There is no phone line on site, so check and credit card transactions are at your own risk.
 
We will have staff and volunteers walking through the merchant area during the evening and at night occasionally to check on things, but we cannot be responsible for any damaged or stolen items. Please make sure you will be able to keep an eye on your booth! Often, merchants help one another out by watching each other's booths.
