Several of our City events have vendor opportunities. Registration for these typically open a couple of months before the event. If you'd like to be added to our vendor mailing list, simply sign up via the form below!
Vendor opportunities
We invite vendors to participate in a variety of events throughout the year. Vendor opportunities for 2025 events will be available for registration on a quarterly basis. You are encouraged to mark your calendars and prepare for upcoming opportunities, which will be made available for sign-up at 9:00 a.m. on the specified dates listed below.
Due to limited capacity at each event, food vendor applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and selected based on event needs. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. We reserves the right to select vendor categories and types to minimize duplication and ensure a diverse offering. Selection is determined by factors such as anticipated attendance, event duration and past demand. While priority is given to early applicants, approval does not guarantee exclusivity of any product or service. Vendors that do not align with the event's theme or goals may be declined.
Once your form is submitted, you will be notified by one of our Parks & Recreation staff members within 72-business hours of receiving your application. For any questions, please call 941-429-PARK (7275), option 3.
