As a vendor, Oktoberfest is a great opportunity to showcase your products or services to people from every generation in a safe and fun environment. Vendors have the opportunity to provide food, drink, and crafts to the general public. The event is very dynamic, offering attractions to craft beer lovers, as well as the community at large. We would love to have you join in on the success.

(We do offer vendor exclusivity on a first come first serve basis!)

Details of booth space prices, electric hookup prices, and the requirement for city vendor/business licenses are included in the vendor application form which can be found below.
