IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SALES OF BEVERAGES AT THE DIY FESTIVAL

Craft Lake City partners with a beverage vendor to be the VIP sponsor and exclusive beverage brand for the DIY Festival. Food vendors are not required to sell beverages at the DIY Festival, but for those interested in providing drinks, there are two options available:

1. Offer custom, handmade beverages unique to your business. Custom beverages must be priced at $2.00+ each and must be pre-approved by Craft Lake City.
   
   
2. Order approved beverage products through Craft Lake City’s account representative and offer them at defined special event prices. Product limitations will apply, as Craft Lake City will have exclusive rights to particular beverage products offered in our trailers and sold as a fundraiser for our nonprofit organization.

Canned or bottled products that are not ordered from our account representative or are not approved custom products will not be allowed for sale. For any questions about our beverage policies, please contact festivalfood@craftlakecity.com.

Important Note on Electricity

Due to the limited availability of electricity at the outdoor venue, it is difficult to accommodate a high volume of power users on the plaza, especially 220 v booths and trucks. Craft Lake City understands that most food vendors require electricity, and we do careful planning and testing to ensure we meet those needs to the best of our ability.

Unauthorized use of electricity puts other exhibitors at risk as it may cause outages. Participants who have knowingly not disclosed power needs prior to the event and are found to be using power may be asked to stop, or to provide immediate, on-the-spot payment for power use.

Important Note on Sustainability Initiatives at the DIY Festival

Craft Lake City is working toward making the DIY Festival a zero-waste event through sustainable, low-energy initiatives. Our team collaborates with artisans and vendors at the Festival to significantly reduce waste at the Gallivan Center.

NEW THIS YEAR: Plastic Bag Restriction

• Craft Lake City understands that plastic bags cause significant and costly problems for recycling equipment and facilities, and as a result Salt Lake City’s recycling program can no longer accept plastic bags. Therefore single-use plastic bags will be prohibited at the DIY Festival as part of our commitment to sustainable initiatives.
  
  
• Festival attendees will be asked to bring or buy reusable (non-plastic) bags for their purchases.
  
  
• Vendors must avoid providing plastic bags for customers. Recyclable paper bags or biodegradable/compostable bags made from non-GMO plant-based materials serve as good alternatives. Vendors may consider selling reusable (non-plastic) bags at their booth or offering incentives to customers who bring their own bags or containers.
  
  
• Vendors are encouraged to limit the use of plastic and styrofoam in packaging whenever possible.
  
  
• We recommend that food vendors provide reusable or recyclable service ware.
  
  
• All vendors must pack out their waste and recyclable materials. We recommend packing out trash after load-in before the DIY Festival begins, and then each night after the festival closes. All waste, oil, and gray water must be carried out by commercial food vendors each night of the festival.
