Yes. For the 2024 festival, we are allocating up to 6 booth spaces for Indigenous vendors free of charge.

Yes! Please see Section 2 of the form for details on renting chairs, tables and electricity. You are also able to purchase one parking pass as well as one additional Vendor Pass. Please note that free parking is not included.

Registration includes $1 million Individual Commercial General Public Liability Insurance, subject to a $2,500 deductible (payable by vendor). This insurance protects you and your business from certain third-party liability that occurs on site. The aforementioned insurance does NOT cover theft, damage, or loss of the vendor’s personal or business property or contents.

Due to liability purposes, we do not allow vendors to share booths. The Festival is legally obligated to provide Individual Commercial General Public Liability Insurance for each vendor, and company names need to be listed on the certificate of insurance. This allows us to be aware of every vendor on site, as the Festival cannot risk an unknown vendor showing up and sharing a booth.

For further clarification, please contact vendors@thefestival.bc.ca. 

Once your application has been accepted, booth selection occurs on a first-come first-serve basis in accordance to when your invoice is paid. Further instructions will be provided upon acceptance. 

Vendors are expected to staff their booths from the opening of festival gates until at least 9pm. Full festival hours will be confirmed as soon as possible. 

Vendors selling food products are not eligible for the Artisan Market. 

Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from vendors selling products that contain cannabis in any form. This includes (but is not limited to) balms, salves, creams, edibles, and plants. The use and/or sales of cannabis products is strictly prohibited by the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Parks Board.
