2026 GSOF Food Booth

The Glennville Chamber of Commerce presents the 49th Annual:

"Glennville Sweet Onion Festival"

Saturday, May 9th, 2026 9AM-5PM

Downtown Barnard St. in Glennville

Free Entry to the Festival Area; Food and Vendor costs will vary.

We invite local vendors of food, drinks, arts, and crafts, as well as games or activities for the whole family, to join us as we celebrate Glennville's busiest time of year, sweet onion season, together as a community.

Downtown businesses are encouraged to open their doors to festival attendees as well. *Businesses applying for the space directly in front of their building will be given first priority for spacing of vendors, assuming fees and application are returned prior to deadline.

If you would like to apply to be a vendor at the Glennville Sweet Onion Festival, please FULLY complete the form below and read ALL instructions and rules before submitting application.

After submission, you should receive an automated email verifying your application was received. If you do not receive this email, something went wrong.

Very important!! This email does not guarantee your spot!

Booth spaces will be approved and filled until the max number has been reached. Once all booth spaces have been filled, online payments will be turned off. Any applications received after that time will be placed on our waiting list. If booth space opens up, we will fill from this waiting list.

UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM THE CHAMBER SAYING YOUR BOOTH HAS BEEN APPROVED, YOUR APPLICATION IS NOT FULLY APPROVED/GUARANTEED.

As it gets closer to the festival, probably around the end of April, you will receive an additional email with your booth space and check-in instructions. These check-in instructions are MANDATORY for a smooth set-up, so please read them in FULL prior to festival day.

Failure to comply with these instructions, volunteer directions at check-in, and/or any of the rules or regulations below could result in being asked to leave the festival and/or not return next year, with no refund of fees.

IF YOU ARE AN ARTS & CRAFTS VENDOR, STOP HERE. THERE IS A SEPARATE APPLICATION FOR YOU.

If you plan to sell food, please also plan to include a drink such as water, tea, soft drinks, etc. You will receive a list of approved items with your follow-up correspondence. All or some items may be approved, so please read carefully.

Number of Booth Spaces Needed.*

Cost of EACH space is $100. All booth spaces will be lettered 10' x 10' squares in the grassy area on Barnard St. between the Glennwanis Hotel and the old Pal Theater. ALL booth items must fit within your allotted space. There will be a SHARED 10 foot space behind your booth for grills, generators, extension cords, etc. The festival does not provide or guarantee electricity or water. Small, quiet generators may be used if approved prior. Please plan and set your booths up accordingly. Please plan to enter from the alley behind the Glennwanis Hotel. There will be someone there to check you in when you arrive. Diagram available upon request.

1st Choice of Vendor Space: (Number or description of needs)

Vendors will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. The only exceptions will be downtown storefronts are given first choice, and competing items will not be placed in front of storefronts selling similar items, or next to each other in vendor spaces, if possible.

2nd Choice of Vendor Space: (Number or description of needs)

Diagram available if needed.

Please describe your set-up: (Food truck/trailer-dimensions, tent, etc.)*

If you're in a food truck/trailer, we need specific length and width, *including tongue of trailer. If you plan to use a generator, outside grill(s), need electricity or water, etc., please include all of these details also. These specifics should not eliminate you from participating, but will help us with placement, set-up, etc. *However, if you specify a smaller setup, then can not fit into the approved and allotted space, you may be asked to leave without fees refunded. Please be sure of your dimensions, there is no extra room between booth spaces.

Vehicle Information: *

Please include Make, Model, Color, and Tag #. If multiple vehicles are expected, please list all. This will tell us how many parking passes are needed and only approved vendor-owned vehicles with pass displayed will be allowed in parking area.

Notes: (Any additional notes we may need to know)

If generator will be used, please make a note of it here. Small, quiet generators are permitted behind booths, but may affect placement of booth. Any not noted ahead of time will be asked to turn off or be asked to leave.

PLEASE READ ALL RULES BEFORE SUBMITTING APPLICATION:

· Application is only considered complete once both signed paperwork and payment are received. Please send pictures of booth set-up and products offered. If you specify a smaller setup, then can not fit into the approved and allotted space, you may be asked to leave without fees refunded. Please be sure of your dimensions, there is no extra room between booth setups.

· Downtown business owners receive first priority for the space(s) in front of their business, but still require the standard booth rental fee. Next priority will go to returning vendors in good standing. After their deadline passes, spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with special attention paid to products offered and special requests made. You will automatically be given the best available location at the time of placement. All remaining applications will go into a waiting list.

· There must be something placed in each of your reserved booth spaces, even for downtown storefronts. Failure to do so can be a liability, as well as we like the festival to look full and inviting.

· All spaces must be left as they were found. If anything (trash, tents, grease, etc…) is left behind, the vendor will be assessed a disposal fee of $35.00 and risk their ability to participate in future events. FOOD VENDORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THEIR TRASH. Please plan to bring (2) trash receptacles for your booth. White barrels in the middle are for festival patrons, not vendor use. You are responsible for removing ALL trash, including grease, cardboard boxes, etc. at the end of the festival.

· No vendors may park inside the festival area. All vehicles should be parked in designated vendor parking. Food vendor parking will be in the paved lot behind Strickland’s Pharmacy. Arts & craft vendor parking will be in the Glennville Bank parking lot. Once parked in these lots, there may not be a way to leave before 5PM.

· All vendors must stay until 5 PM the day of the festival. Leaving early will exclude you from future events.

· The following items are strictly prohibited from sale or as awards or prizes: Any type of aerosols, Silly String, Stink Bombs, alcohol, fireworks of any type, weapons, toy cap pistols or caps, or anything deemed controversial, tasteless, or offensive by the festival staff. Any vendor selling these items will be closed down and no refunds of fees will be made.
