Parking
No vehicles will be allowed in the vendor area after 1:30 pm. If you arrive after 1:30 pm you must proceed directly to vendor parking and walk your items to your booth from the parking area. Storage Availability a limited number of booths are large enough so vendors can leave a Stationary Storage Trailer between their canopy and the brown parking stakes (this is not a vehicle you move at the end of each day - once parked there it must remain until the end of the festival on Sunday). These spaces are available first come, first served. Advance registration for this opportunity is required. The cost for this opportunity is $15. You will be provided with a separate parking pass that must be visible on the storage vehicle all weekend.
Booth Details
Booth Space All booths will be 15’ Across and at least 10’ Deep. When applying for a booth please consider the size of your tent. If your tent has rope extensions, the extensions must be within the booth space. There are approximately 110 sites available. IF YOU ARE A RETURN VENDOR, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE ASIGNED THE SAME BOOTH SPOT AS PRIOR YEARS. Most of the sites are in a shaded wooded area with dirt ground covering. Some of the sites while in the wooded area, are not considered in the shade. Booth Fee $120 per booth. COMMERCIALLY MADE ITEMS FOR RESALE will only be allowed in the Flea Market or Commercial / Business area. All vendors must provide a minimum of 2 photos of the items you will be selling, 1 photo of your booth set-up, and 1 photo of anything "Mint" themed that you may have. Vendors Responsibility Arts & Craft vendors are not allowed to sell water from their booth. This is reserved for our Food Vendors. Vendors are responsible for supplying as well as setting up and taking down their own displays, dividers, tents, booth signage, tables and chairs. Vendors are not allowed to sell wares from boxes on the ground. Vendors must stay within the confines of their booth to sell their wares – you are unable to walk around the park selling your wares. Vendors are expected to keep their booth area clean at all times, dispose of trash, and cardboard in the appropriate receptacles provided. Vendors are expected to remain open for business until closing on ALL three days. Early teardown and departure will NOT be tolerated and you will not be asked to participate in future Festivals. Electricity: There is no electricity available in the Arts and Crafts area of the park. If you require electricity you may bring a Whisper Quiet generator (in consideration of your neighboring vendors & our shoppers, no other generators will be allowed – no exceptions). Gas cans must not be visible to shoppers. Food & Activities - There are food booths and family activities all weekend long within the park. The Festival Committee reserves the right to reject any application, both at the time of receipt and at the show, based on the information provided, the products actually brought to be sold or other circumstances. If you cancel your participation in the show after May 1, 2025, no refund will be given. If you have any questions, contact Director@stjohnsareachamber.org
Overnight Camping
Overnight Camping- A limited number of spaces are available for self-contained RV’s (not cars, vans, trucks, tents, etc) west of the Sledding Hill where all vendor vehicles park. There will be no water or electrical hookups and vendors are restricted from building fires and dumping water and/or waste. Advance registration for this opportunity is required. The cost for this opportunity is $15.
Vendor Jury Selection
All vendors will go through a JURY PROCESS. There will be a monthly vendor application review process in which accepted vendors will be notified by the 5th of the month following their application date. Applicant's work will be juried based on its quality, originality, uniqueness and overall presentation. Vendors with MINT THEMED PRODUCTS (mint scent, flavor, likeness, logos, designs, etc) will receive additional considerations in this process. Once accepted into the show, vendors will be invoiced and required payments should be received no later than the 15th of the month they are accepted. Example: •Applications submitted Feb 1st-28th will be reviewed the first week of March. •Approvals and invoices will be sent out by March 5th. Once you have been approved, we will inquire on how many booths you are registering for, if you'll need camping accommodations and if you'll need any add-on services such as additional parking passes. •A link to submit payment will be sent to you if you are approve.
