Windfest Rules Governing Vendor Booths 2025

Exclusivity: Absolutely no rights to exclusivity are granted or implied to exhibitors at this festival. Every effort will be made to keep similar or like crafts separated in different areas. This also includes the possibility of moving your booth.

Sales Tax: You must have a state sales tax permit to participate in the festival, and you are responsible for the payment of any applicable sales tax incurred while at the festival. You may be required to produce your permit at any time during the weekend.

Electricity: Every effort to secure power to your booth will be made provided you select electricity on your vendor signup sheet. Any booth will not exceed 500 watts or 4 amps per booth (example (5) 100 light bulbs).  You must use fluorescent bulbs and recommend you use energy saver light bulbs. You may not use halogen or iridescent bulbs. Please bring your own 100v extension cords with grounding prong-they are not provided and only one item at a time can be plugged into the cord. Additional power needs will be assessed and charged additionally according to the need.

Fire Extinguisher: Food Vendors and Food Trucks must bring a 5 lb fire extinguisher and have it accessible at your booth for safety purposes. (Not applicable for Market Vendors)

Security: Continuous security patrols are provided during festival hours and overnight hours. Retail Market Vendors are under big (tall) Joe Burke Pavilion. You may bring a STRAIGHT leg canopy, but it must be secured against wind. All Vendors MUST cover/secure their items at the close of  the day. Not covering your booth risks tampering and theft.

Insurance: It is highly recommended that you carry the appropriate insurance to protect yourself against loss, injury, or property damage. We will not be responsible for any theft, loss, or damage of merchandise, property, or equipment, either by natural or unnatural causes, such as theft, fire, flood, wind, rain, or any other cause whatsoever.

Merchandise: Our sponsoring entity has the right to accept or reject any application and reserves the right to refuse duplicate merchandise being offered by another vendor. All applications will be reviewed and accepted on those guidelines.  If you have listed items that are not accepted you will be notified if any items are not acceptable. Should you try to sell the non-approved items, you will be asked to cease and if you choose not to abide, then you will be asked to leave the festival. No items may be sold unless first approved by our office. All merchandise must be sold from your booth (no peddling or selling your wares in the crowds or away from your booth including calling/shouting to the crowd from your booth).  No marketing or online items can be sold or solicited at the market.

Conduct: Foul language, profanity, or other rude behavior is not permitted.  Possession or consumption of drugs is not allowed.  Those in violation will be removed from the area and no longer allowed to be a vendor at Windfest. Please remember this is a family friend event and we reserve the right to challenge any violation that doesn’t fit into that parameter.

Cancellation:  No Cancellations are allowed.  We do not refund.  Our festival runs rain or shine.  If for some reason the festival is cancelled, there are NO refunds. If for some reason you change your mind, there are NO refunds.

Commercial Food Vendors: You must supply your own tent/booth.
