Booth Space: Booth space is a single story, 10x10 square area inclusive. Food and beverage vendors are allotted extra areas directly behind their booth for prep and/or storage. Extra small areas vary according to the physical layout of the festival grounds and placement of booth. If you require additional space, advance arrangements must be made prior to the start of the festival at 11 AM Tuesday. Please understand that we are extremely busy after the 1st of September. Therefore, we must ask that if at all possible, please have arrangements worked out by August 31st as we "work" the mountain after the 1st of September.

want you to be successful in your operation and we want to help you help us
