Vendor Packages

Atrium Vendor - $125; Includes an 8x8’ vendor booth space. Does not include electricity, tables, or chairs, all of which are available for an additional rental fee. Slightly larger spaces available. Close to the action of the bar and main stage where the drag shows will happen. This area will tend to be louder and the energy will be higher. If you’re looking for more of a party atmosphere for your booth, this may be for you! Double booths available for $200

Entrance Hall Vendor - $100; Includes a 6x6 vendor space. Maximum table size 6’. Perks: you will be the first vendors seen as guests enter the property. Away from the main stage, so booths will be quieter. Ideal for vendors who need to do a lot of speaking to the guests, etc. Due to the limited width of the corridor, maximum spaces are smaller than in the atrium. Double booths available for $175.

NonProfit/Small Business - Information Table Only - $100. Info tables are 6’, and we cannot guarantee location.

Vendor Upgrades Available:

Electricity - $75. VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY and will be granted on a first come, first serve basis.

Table and Chairs Rental - $25. A 6 or 8 foot table (depending on your booth size/location), and two folding chairs.

Passport inclusion - $25. Your booth/business will be printed on the “passport.” Attendees will stop by your booth to collect a sticker/stamp. Guarantee people come to your booth! Only 25 available. Pay only $25 and donate something small to be included in the raffle!
