Booth Sizes and Descriptions -

Inside vendors will be located in the Centennial & Automobile buildings.

Festival booths are available in 10’ x 10’ (100 sq. ft.) spaces. Vendors requiring larger areas may rent multiple booth spaces. Vendor spaces are located inside the Festival buildings and outdoors on either concrete or grass. Please be sure to specify your space and location needs on the vendor application form. Tables, chairs and electrical drops may also be rented from the festival if needed. We do not provide or rent lights, extension cords or plug strips.  We reserve the right to request that any unsafe electrical item be removed.

A refundable deposit of $100 is required from all vendors. You must submit two checks with your application: one check for booth fees and miscellaneous charges and a separate check for your $100 deposit. This deposit will be held until it is returned to you at the scheduled close of the Festival on Sunday, provided that vendors have not damaged their areas, vacated their booths before scheduled closing or ignored any Festival rules pertaining to booth spaces. Booth rental fees and cost of accessories rental are listed on the vendor application reply form. Included in vendor fees are the cost of two vendor passes, one parking pass, 24-hour security and facility cleanup each morning before Festival opening.

Reminder—although we do not take a percentage of booth income, the various government entities do. It is your responsibility to collect and pay Texas State and local Sales and Use Tax (currently 8.25%).
