All Festival Vendors

Vendor registration for the 10th-annual Ogden Pride Festival

The Ogden Pride Festival offers unique opportunities for businesses and organizations interested in creating relationships within the LGBTQ+ community of Northern Utah.

MANDATORY VENDOR MEETING

Watch for more information as to the time and location of this meeting as we get closer to the planned date.

We are once again implementing a MANDATORY meeting for all of our vendors & volunteers. We expect the size of the festival to grow and be a busy affair. If you live out of state, or have a schedule conflict, we will provide you a zoom link via email. We request that you have at least one representative at this meeting; someone who is capable of disbursing any needed information and safety procedure instructions.

To accommodate a choice, you can select from the two dates: July 20th or 27th. This meeting will be held at Pleasant Valley Library Branch. You can also attend via Zoom (after you apply, you’ll be sent information about the meeting and a zoom link). On either date, we will begin check-in at 12 pm and the meeting will begin at 1 pm and last approximately 1 hour.

We want to make sure all vendors, volunteers, and our festival staff are aware of the safety requirements, rules, and expectations before the weekend of the festival. As such, this MANDATORY meeting will go over important information and safety protocols. 

Ogden Pride vendors agree to the following:

2. Booth takedown: For those who will vend with us on both days, Saturday night you will need to secure your items either in place or pack it out starting at 10pm only. We will provide more details on our security plans, and requirements we will all have to keep our booths in one place. On Sunday, the earliest you may begin taking down your booth is 7:30 pm. We will have entertainment until 8 pm, so feel free to continue operating your booth until then.
