World Bear Weekend Vendor Application

World Bear Weekend is excited that you have expressed interest in vending at our 3rd annual event in August 2021 in Memphis, TN. As our attendance continues to grow, so do our requests for Vendor Booths. Due to space restrictions, not all applications will be granted a vendor space. Applications will be reviewed by our producers and vendors will be selected based on product categories that fit the needs of our event. It is our goal not to "over-saturate" our market with too many vendors selling like items.

Please complete the form below. Once your application has been approved, you will be contacted to make payment arrangements to secure your booth space, and provide registration details for you and your helper(s), if applicable.
