Vendor Guidelines

- Vendor spaces will be on the beach (sand).
- Vendors may start setting up their booths as early as 8am.
- Festival hours are 11am-6pm.
- There is no electricity or water available to vendors.
- Food & beverages (including alcohol) may be distributed by vendors approved to do so (there is a different application form for food & beverage vendors).
- Vendors are responsible for disposing of their trash in the appropriate trash and recycling bins. Please plan your booth and any giveaways so that you will not be contributing to the pollution of our beach or ocean.
- Vendors need to bring their own booth set ups (i.e. - canopies, tables, chairs, etc.).
- Vendors will be listed on the festival's website. If you would like us to provide a link to your website, we are happy to do so, we just ask that you reciprocate by providing a link to our site from yours.
