Vendor Rules & Expectations
By registering for Applefest 2026, you agree to the following:
Set-Up & Tear-Down: Vendors may load/unload vehicles only during designated times. Booths must be fully set up and staffed by the posted festival opening time. Early tear-down is not allowed for safety and atmosphere reasons.
Space & Display: All tables, displays, cords, stakes, and signage must fit within your assigned 10’x10′ space. Vendors must bring their own tents, tables, chairs, and heavy-duty extension cords (minimum gauge specified by the festival).
Electrical Safety: All cords must be properly taped or covered to prevent tripping hazards. No generators or extra power sources without prior written approval.
Clean-Up: Each vendor is responsible for keeping their area clean during the festival and for completely removing all trash, packaging, and debris at the end of the event. Dumping in public or other vendors’ cans is prohibited — please use the designated dumpsters.
Professional Conduct: Booths must remain open and staffed during posted hours. Merchandise and displays must be family-friendly. Only items listed on your application may be sold without prior approval.
Permits & Compliance: Food vendors must comply with all local health department regulations and show current permits if requested. Each vendor is responsible for collecting and remitting applicable sales tax.
Prohibited Items: No alcohol, drug paraphernalia, offensive or unsafe merchandise, open flames or grilling without prior approval and required permits. Smoking/vaping only in designated areas.
Refund Policy: All booth fees are non-refundable after September 1. The festival reserves the right to cancel a vendor’s participation or deny future participation for non-compliance with these rules.
