VENDOR REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES
Please check in on Friday, August 4th between noon and 7pm, as close to your pre-assigned setup time as possible. NO VENDORS WILL BE ALLOWED ONTO THE MEADOW PRIOR TO NOON. This will ensure that you get your passes and information, and that you are in the correct area. You will only be allowed to drive onto the meadow to unload and load your products. There is absolutely no parking on the meadow during the festival. Limited parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please check with the festival staff to find out the location of the vendor parking. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE PARKING OR CAMPING SPOTS FOR VENDORS. Please note that the meadows grounds may be uneven or not level, so please plan accordingly
Product Restrictions
No glass containers are allowed in the meadow. We ask that each vendor bring only those items which they specified in their application. Additional items may not be sold without prior approval.
Beartrap Summer Festival reserves the right to prohibit the display or sale of any product that could be unsafe, dangerous, offensive, objectionable, or inappropriate for the family-oriented event.
***Although we do our best not to duplicate items sold by non-food vendors, please understand that most of the vendors at our festival sell handmade items, which often overlap with items sold by other vendors. Our non-duplication policy applies to branded, commercially made wholesale branded items which are only allowed to be sold by a single booth (i.e.. Lula Roe brand clothing or Scentsy brand candles.) For example, many vendors selling "outerwear", "face painting" or "CBD lotion" may be at the Festival, but 2 vendors both selling the exact same brand of commercially produced camping chair will not be allowed.***
