REQUIREMENTS

​
LOCATION/SETUP/PARKING INFO
​
Vendors will be assigned a 10x10 space unless they indicate a different size is needed. Spaces will be assigned by event staff/volunteers first come, first served during event setup. Vendors will be emailed their event setup and parking info by the Tuesday prior to the event.
​
DEADLINES & PAYMENT
​
Vendor applications are due one week prior to the event, with the exception of food vendors, who will need to apply at least two weeks prior to the event. Payment needs to be made by 5 pm the Monday prior to the event in order to receive a space. Payment can be made online prior to the event at this link .
​
ELECTRICITY
​
NEW - Due to the increase in number of vendors and amount of electricity needed, we are no longer able to provide electricity and vendors will need to bring their own generators. This is due to recent issues with overloading the power grid on Michigan Street and blowing the circuit.
​
ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS
​
DTSB (Downtown South Bend, Inc.) reserves the right to limit the number of vendors with similar products/services, and accept/deny any vendor. Nonprofit vendors are encouraged to have a value-add or activity that corresponds with the theme. DTSB will not be held responsible for any damages, theft or injury to any person or persons attending, buying or selling at events. DTSB discourages vendors from distributing messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith, support for a candidate or political party.
