Vendor Registration Form
Important facts for vendors:
⦁ Registration is first come, first served and there is no deadline to register. However, it is recommended to register early as to not miss out on the opportunity to participate.
⦁ Vendors must arrive onsite at the time indicated on their set up instructions.
⦁ Power and water are NOT provided to vendors. Generators are not permitted except for food trucks/trailers.
⦁ All vendor tents must have a CAN/ULC-S109 fire retardancy certificate and be weighted with 25 lbs per leg. The weight must be tied to the tent frame. This is an issue of public safety. A city building inspector will ask you to take down your tent if you do not have proper weights for your tent.
⦁ The festival does its best to meet vendor requests, however we do not guarantee specific locations.
⦁ Please note that you will be required to meet all provincial and municipal regulations.
⦁ If you require a tent and would like to rent one, please Peter at info@grandtrunkfestival.com.
⦁ If you are selling food, you must comply with Alberta Health Services standards and either complete a temporary food establishment vendor notification form or have an AHS mobile permit Number (CGY-000). A form must be completed if you are sampling items or selling pre-packaged goods such as pop or popcorn. Send this completed form to info@grandtrunkfestival.com.
