Yes. For the 2025 festival, we are allocating up to 6 booth spaces for Indigenous vendors free of charge.

Yes! The application form contains details about renting chairs, tables and electricity. You are also able to purchase one parking pass as well as additional Vendor Passes. Please note that free parking is not included.

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. Please note that booth selection is based on a site map mock up, and spaces are subject to change based on any necessary changes to the layout on site.

Vendors are expected to staff their booths from the opening of festival gates until at least 8pm. Full festival hours will be confirmed as soon as possible. 

Vendors selling food products are not eligible for the Artisan Market. Please visit the Food Vendor page for details on how to apply as a food or beverage vendor.

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.
