Booth Spaces:

Vendor spaces are lined based on dimension listed above. You may apply for multiple spaces. Vendor applications are reviewed and accepted on a juried selection basis, we cannot make guarantees in placement due to changes in infrastructure. Vendors will be notified one week prior to the festival of their booth locations at the festival with the release of the Digital Program. This does not mean that the Festival map will be aviaiable. Vendors are not guaranteed the same spaces annually and vendors are required to submit an application with photos annually to apply. Vendors will not be allowed to drive to their assigned spots on the ball field. There will be assigned Load in and Load Out Zone.

Electricity:

There are a limited number of booth spaces with access to electricity. For each booth with access, there are only two 15 amp receptacles located up to 200 ft. from your booth. If you will require electricity, please make note of that on your application. You will be charged an additional $15 fee. You will need to supply your own drop cord and covering for safety. Food vendors will have to provide their own source of electricity. Generators must be quite and not infringing on their surround neighbor vendors.

NO GENERATORS ARE ALLOWED ON ROCKET FIELD!!

All applicants will be contacted via email to confirm acceptance. Please allow 4-6 weeks for our committee to give your application careful consideration.

Refunds:

No refunds will be given once vendor has been accepted to the festival. Please contact us with specific concerns.

You are responsible for collecting and reporting Georgia Sales Tax (8%) on all sales, if applicable. Vendors will receive appropriate tax forms and envelopes in the mailed vendor packet that goes out in September.
