Arrival & Setup
Vendor setup is from 9 – 11 AM only. The entry to the park closes at 11:40 am. Enter at Spring Street - the side of Grinnell Library (It's one way only). Vendors will be given a Spot Number for their setup area.
To keep the flow of traffic moving smoothly, please drop off your items by your spot and continue to the parking area. Parking is located toward the exit of the park. All vendors must be fully set up by 12 PM.
Spot Dimensions
Each standard space is 10×10 feet for all goods and food vendors. All tents and canopies must be properly weighted for safety. For food trucks, please enter the size of your truck on the registration form to review the location of your spot in the park.
Special Requests
Electricity is available but is limited and first-come, first-served. Vendors requiring power must indicate this on the registration form and must bring their own extension cords. Each vendor must bring their own table, chairs and booth setup as nothing is provided.
Cleanliness
Vendors are responsible for keeping their area clean throughout the event. All trash must be properly disposed of. Please leave your space as you found it.
Breakdown
Breakdown can begin at 2 PM, this is around the time the event slows down and the crowd dwindles. If vendors prefer to hold off a bit longer, that is preferable. Vehicles may be brought to vendor spots to pack, but remember it's a one-way exit.
Complete your vendor application below and secure your spot. We look forward to seeing you!
Complete the online form to apply for a vendor or food truck spot, below. You'll receive a confirmation email after submitting your form. If you don't receive a confirmation, please reach out to us. All applicants are reviewed and confirmed by our team. If there are any further questions we need to ask or any other concerns, we will reach out to you. We will also confirm with all vendors and food trucks one week prior to the event.
We aim to minimize duplicate vendors to keep the event exclusive. However, because this is a well-attended event and vendors usually offer a variety of items, we do allow 2–3 vendors to sell similar products. If you'd like to know if other vendors are selling similar products like yours, please email us at: villagewfrecreation@gmail.com
