Signatures
Your signature is required in two (2) places this year. Applications without all the signatures will not be processed.
Selection Procedure
All applications are juried. The application form must be signed and a check enclosed for all fees. Apply early; the Festival committee processes, and juries applications in the order they are received. For vendors who wish to share one booth, you may pay one booth fee, but each exhibitor must submit an application. Mail the applications together in one envelope. You may divide and submit fees. All other rules and regulations apply.
Fine Arts, Folk Arts and Crafts Booths
Only original works of art and craft are accepted. Applications must be completely filled out, signed in both places, and submitted with five (5) slides or photos of the work you will sell. Slides/photos must be labeled so that they can be returned to you at check-in. If your application is not accepted, we will return slides/photos to you at our expense.
Food Vendors
List all items you will be selling on the application. The Washington Pavilion sells canned beverages (soda pop) and bottled water as a fundraiser. Therefore, you may not sell carbonated beverages or bottled water. No exceptions. You may, however, sell other non-alcoholic beverages.
Booth Spaces
Food Vendors - Fees are based on a 15’ x 15’ space. You are responsible for your own set up, display, and signage.
Non-Food Vendors - Fees are based on a 12’ x 12’ space. Multiples of this size can be purchased if you wish to use space for your merchandise or customers that extends beyond 12’. You are responsible for your own set up, display, and signage. Information on display size and type (canopy, cart, table, etc.) helps in booth placement. One canopy per booth space.
All Vendors
All vendors must occupy only the amount of space they indicate on the application. If you exceed this space, you will be required to purchase another booth, if available. If another booth space is not available, you will forfeit your booth fee and not be allowed into the Festival.
All booth exhibitors must confine doing business to their assigned space.
Because of fire code regulations, you may not extend your booth display out into the street. Walking concessions/exhibits are also not allowed. The sale, posting, or distribution of any merchandise, products, promotional items, printed or written material except from the assigned fixed location is prohibited. Failure to comply will result in immediate forfeiture of all booth/exhibitor privileges without reimbursement.
Electricity
Electricity usage is closely monitored.
If you require electricity, you need to indicate this on your application. The street system is 110 volt, 15 amp power – equal to about one roaster oven. The food court has increased electrical capacity.
You must indicate on the application if electricity is needed for your booth. There is a $40 rental fee for this service (you must bring a 100-foot, heavy duty electrical cord). Electricity is available on a limited basis; you will be notified if your request cannot be met.
In the Food Court, there will be 110 volt 15 amp, 110 volt 50 amp, and a limited number of 220 volt circuits available. Please include the appropriate fees with your application. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Paul Groeneveld at 605-367-7397, Ext. #2353.
Festival Hours
The festival is open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You must be set up and have your vehicle(s) off the street by 7:00 a.m. because there is already pedestrian traffic at that time.
Be sure to arrive early so that you can find your booth space, unload, and get your vehicle(s) off the street by 7:00 a.m. If you arrive after 7:00 a.m., you must unload outside the Festival area and carry your merchandise to your booth space.
You may not tear down your booth or leave before 5:00 p.m.(according to the Festival chair’s watch) — even if you are sold out, even if you are having a slow day. Vendors who leave early will not be juried into future Sidewalk Arts Festivals.
