Vendor Rules
Cancellation Policy Should you need to cancel your space, cancellation requests must be received no later than September 1st to receive a refund. Cancellations made after September 1st will not receive a refund.
Applefest will make every effort to keep vendors in their same locations, but it is not guaranteed. Should it become necessary to move a space, every effort will be made to keep vendors in the same area of the festival when possible.
All displays, extra stock, etc. must remain within the confines of your designated booth. Displays may not extend outside your space, and you are not permitted to make use of any other areas. Vendors whose displays extend past their booth space will be asked to move items back inside their booth. Repeated infractions may result in ejection from the festival.
When arriving to set up unload your vehicle, if you will be in a tent, as quickly as possible and move it to the designated parking space immediately to allow other vendors into the area.
Please refrain from blocking other booths to allow everyone to set up.
Please pack up as much as possible prior to bringing a vehicle into the festival area during tear-down to keep congestion to a minimum. Please do not park in the middle of driveways and aisleways so that other vendors may get past.
Vendors may not enter the festival area to set up earlier than the listed times.
Please do not place empty boxes in the garbage cans. You are responsible for breaking down all boxes and taking them to the dumpster or you must take them home with you.
All setup must be completed and food truck in place or vehicles clear of the Festival area by 9:00 AM.
