Selection Criteria
Primary consideration will be given to artisan items that are hand-made rather than imported items. Local/Alberta and Canadian made items are preferred, as are items with a sustainable, environmentally friendly aspect to them.
If you are applying as a Community Booth and you wish to sell product it may only be product that has your logo on it (i.e. T shirts, coffee mugs) - please check with us as to what is allowed. Community Booths need to have some kind of interactive activity or display this year.
Booth Space
10’ x 10’ (3 x 3 meters), but not all spaces are square and some have overhanging tree branches; so if you have a rigid structure, please indicate this to us. You are totally responsible for the construction, set-up and security, clean up and dismantling of your booth. A map showing all the booth spaces will be provided if you are selected and you may select your first and second choices when you send in your agreement and cheque. Spaces will be allocated on a first paid and ALL paperwork submitted basis.
Cost
The cost of a booth space is $250 for the festival weekend. ($75 for Community booths)
Power
Is provided however you will need to provide an approved extension of cord of at least 50 meters to connect to the power source
Health Department Inspection
Those booths offering massage, henna tattoos or other personal services must be ready for inspection by Alberta Health Services by 3 p.m. on the Saturday. The Alberta Health Services Participant Application Form for Special Events & Trade Shows can be found here.
No vehicles will be permitted on the site during festival hours. We will have a designated small vehicle for transportation of product from the booth parking lot to your booth, if required, during festival hours.
Donation
We are kindly asking for a donation from each vendor (approx. $20 value) to the festival to be used to reward our fabulous volunteers. We would like to collect these items on Saturday so we can do the draws and announce the supporting booths names on the stage.
Local Accommodation
Please visit the Local Accommodation page on our website for places to stay. Hotel rooms fill up quickly for the weekend so be sure to book yours well in advance.
