Yes, there is a fee for entry to cover the expense of the entertainment, security, etc within the gated compound

Oktoberfest has been growing about 20% per year, with an average of 10,000 per weekend last year.

We like vendors who have a product that would sell well with a crowd that is partying, or something unique that would attract their attention.

NO! Since Oktoberfest sells food for meals, we accept only food vendors that have snack foods or drinks that

we are not already selling, such as nuts, chocolates, candy, popcorn, & hot chocolate, etc.

Yes!

Yes you may bring children, but they;

1) MUST be with an adult at all times,

2) MUST be gone by 9PM to follow the Liquor Control Boards laws, if they are under 18.

3) May NOT “camp” behind the booths.

Vendors need to bring:

1) Short extension cords and power bar.

2) Lighting for nighttime that does not draw too much power.

3) Warm clothes for nighttime.

4) Tables, decorations, display cases you need for your booth.

5) Roll of carpet or small carpets for you to stand on to help keep you warmer and for cushion.

6) A propane heater for warmth at night.

7) Food for snacks and lunch when you arrive to open your booth before the gates are opened. Vendors are welcome to buy their meals at one of our venues. If the vendor goes into Leavenworth, outside the compound, for meals, they must consume them outside the compound.

YES a few items:

1) NO ELECTRIC HEATERS.

2) No other cookers unless you provide your own generator, and only with approval.

3) No dogs.

4) No alcohol.

5) No food purchased outside the Oktoberfest compound during operating hours. All bags will be subject to

inspection at the gates during operating hours.

Set up time is after 2pm Friday to opening at 6pm. If the vendor cannot be set up in 4 hours the vendor will need to contact the Vendor Coordinator so she knows when to expect you earlier Friday. The vendors are asked to drive in, unload, move and park their vehicle out of the compound, then complete your set up. This gives space for other vendors to move in.

Each booth will be provided with one power outlet (2 plugs). Our power is limited so vendors must keep their

total wattage low for display and night time so all vendors have power. It’s all or nothing!

Booth assignments will be sent out, ASAP or after September 15, when final payments for booths are received

Each vendor will receive a map of the compound with his or her assignment noted.

No! There is only one employee/vendor entrance at the Town Toyota Center. You will be parking on the back side of the building next to the employee entrance. All employees and vendors are scanned for weapons along with a bag search.

Each vendor booth will be given 2 ‘Vendor Pass’ ID cards when they arrive on Friday. Vendors will need a vendor pass to enter and leave the Oktoberfest compound fenced area. The vendor, who is working Oktoberfest more than one weekend, must bring the pass each weekend they work Oktoberfest.

YES! But you will have to purchase a wristband like any other customer and that also means showing your ID.

Yes, there will be security within the chain link fenced area of the Oktoberfest parameters a) every night of Oktoberfest, beginning Thursday September 30th, and b) 24 hours a day between Oktoberfest weekends.

There is a short procession at noon each Saturday prior to the Keg Tapping Ceremony. The horse drawn

beer wagon will end the parade in the compound, walking past the vendor booths. We ask the vendors to stay in

your booth to watch, and do not attempt to pet the horses.

Yes, if you wish to leave everything or just your display the area will be secure. It is your decision.

Vendors may pick up their property late between 8am to 10am Sunday morning.
