Commercial Vendor Information

Important Notice To Vendors and Festival Participants:

SUNDAY, July 13th - Festival END TIME:

The Duck Derby begins at 5:00 PM; the police will not open the street until after all of the pedestrian traffic has moved away from the street and onto the sidewalks comfortably. They determine when that is, based on the crowd size and their movement. Safety is their responsibility.

To that end, all vendors should know 6:00 PM is when they can move cars to Wolcott Street to Pack up and depart and NOT BEFORE. We have tried to accomodate traffic on Wolcott Street during the derby to help vendors get away at a decent time, but pedestrian safety by the police takes priority.

This year the 20th Annual Oatka Festival will be held on July 12th –13th, 2008. In addition to the food and craft booths, there will again be spaces available for commercial booths and informational or organizational booths. Commercial booth space is available for a $60.00 fee for both Saturday and Sunday. Public information booths and organizational booths are free ONLY if no goods are sold. The Festival prohibits the SALE of any raffle tickets by any group or organization. Oatka Festival reserves the right to refuse booth space to inappropriate or controversial organizations or vendors.

Spaces are 12’ X 12’ and are assigned on a first come, first served basis. Commercial booth space is assigned upon receipt of the $60.00 fee. You will be sent a confirmation letter with your space noted in mid-June. There is no electricity available. Only one business allowed per booth. Booths may be set up on Friday night. You will be shown your location when you arrive. There will be night security, but there is no guarantee that items left in the booth will be safe.

If you set up your booth on Saturday morning, set-up must be completed and all vehicles moved by 9:00 AM. Wolcott Street and Trigon Park are closed to traffic and all vehicles must be off the street by 9:00 AM.

The parade begins promptly at 11:00 AM. Festival hours are from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday.
