Vendor spaces are lined based on dimension listed above. You may apply for multiple spaces. Vendor applications are reviewed and accepted on a juried selection basis, we cannot make guarantees in placement due to changes in infrastructure. Vendors will not be notified prior to the festival of their booth locations. Vendors are not guaranteed the same spaces annually and vendors are required to submit an application with photos annually to apply. Vendors will not be allowed to drive to their assigned spots on the ball field. There will be assigned Load in and Load Out Zones for set up and breakdown of the Festival.
The Oconee Chamber Fall Festival requires all vendors to check in and set up on Friday prior to the festival. Vendors are provided time-slots to sign up for a set up time one month prior to the festival. This is not negotiable and vendors that are unable to check in on Friday and set up will not be allowed to attend the festival. There will be no exceptions made.
Electricity:
There are a limited number of booth spaces with access to electricity. For each booth with access, there are only two 15 amp receptacles located up to 200 ft. from your booth. If you will require electricity, please make note of that on your application. You will be charged an additional $15 fee. You will need to supply your own drop cord and covering for safety. Food vendors will have to provide their own source of electricity. Generators must be quite and not infringing on their surround neighbor vendors. NO GENERATORS ARE ALLOWED ON ROCKET FIELD!!
