Vendor Setup:

  • Address: 197 Durham St, Soddy-Daisy, TN 37379 (Soddy Lake Municipal Park)
  • Entry Point: Vendors MUST enter at Durham Street for setup.
  • Check-In: All vendors must check in at the Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful Booth before setting up.
  • WiFi: EPB has provided WiFi for vendors and KSDB volunteers at the festival. Please ask for the login information when you check in on Saturday before the festival. Please do not share the login information with the public so we can keep the system from being overloaded.

Contact:

  • For urgent matters, text Cindi at 602-491-7037 or Nate at 541-414-4660. Calls may not be answered during setup or the festival.

Provided Amenities:

  • Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful will allocate space for your booth only. Canopies, tables, and chairs are NOT provided and must be arranged by the vendor.

Vendor Spots:

  • Family-Friendly Requirement: This is a family-friendly event. All vendor booths must display only family-friendly and appropriate materials. Any content that does not meet this standard will not be permitted.
  • Space Allocation: Vendors are required to setup their booths a few feet away from the walking sidewalk. This ensures that pedestrians have ample space to stand and walk. The added distance also facilitates smoother traffic flow during the event.
  • Assigned Spaces: Sponsors, VIP Vendors, and Food Vendors will have pre-assigned vendor spaces. The remaining spaces will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis during the setup times.
  • Flag Removal: After setting up your booth, please remove the marking flags from your allocated space. A volunteer will come around to collect them.
  • Electricity: Electricity is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Vendors must bring and secure their own electrical cords.
  • Safety: Vendors are responsible for ensuring their booths are free of public hazards, such as unsecured extension cords.
  • Operating Hours: Vendors are required to stay open until 4 pm and cannot break down their booth and leave until after 4 pm.
  • Weather Monitoring: We will monitor the weather and make announcements in case of any weather events that would require vendors to take down their booths early.

Vendor Setup Schedule:

Friday Setup:

  • 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM: Reserved for VIP Vendors, Sponsors, Food & Drink Vendors, and Vendors with more than one booth space. These vendors can arrive early to set up at the festival.
  • 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM: Open to all vendors. All vendors are welcome to come and set up during this time.

Important Details:
To reserve your spot, you must leave a canopy or another physical item in the park overnight. We are paying for extra police security, and there will be a vendor staying in the park overnight, along with cameras monitoring the area. However, please be aware that leaving any items overnight is at your own risk. Keep Soddy-Daisy Beautiful and the event organizers are not liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. We recommend that vendors take appropriate precautions to secure their belongings.

Saturday Setup:

  • 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM: All vendors can set up during this time.

Important Details:
Vendors must be fully set up by 9:30 AM. After this time, no vehicles will be allowed to drive onto the park grounds. One of the benefits of early arrival is that vendors are allowed to park their vehicles right next to their booth for the entire festival. To take advantage of this convenience, please ensure you arrive in time to complete your setup before 9:30 AM.

Vendor Parking:

  • Most vendors will be able to park near their booths in designated areas. More details and the map will be provided closer to the event.
