Vendors

The Art Arbor limits vendors to those providing food. Please read the Vendor Rules below. If you would like to apply, please email.

Food Vendor and Snack Food Vendor Rules  ENTRY INFORMATION & FEES  There are two vendor categories: Food Vendor (providing menu items such as barbecue, sandwiches, gyros, etc.) and Snack Food Vendor (providing items such as: popcorn/kettle corn, ice cream, cotton candy, etc.). No vendor will be allowed to sell items on the Friends of Boyd Hill Menu (hamburgers, hotdogs, muffins, cookies, potato chips, and soft drinks including iced tea, sodas, bottled water). Fees: Food Vendors $200.00 for both days, Snack Food Vendors $150.00 for both days. There will be no refunds. Vendor spaces are given on a first come first serve basis with completed application (see above for application information) and payment received not later than October 5, 2009. There will be only one vendor per food type.  SALES  A menu with prices must be posted in the vendor's space. Each vendor is responsible for collecting Florida State Sales tax (7% in Pinellas County). Vendor spaces must be staffed and operating from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days.  EXHIBIT SPACE  Vendor spaces are located within the picnic area of the park. Due to the natural contours of the area, spaces vary in size. Tables or chairs will not be provided. NOTE: The picnic area has many trees with lower hanging branches. If your equipment includes a canopy, be sure to indicate this on the application so that you can be placed appropriately.  SET UP  To allow ample time for set-up, gates open at 8:00 a.m. on both days. Vendors must be in place and ready for business by 10:00 a.m. You may set up between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Friday. However, there is no special security on duty (please see release form). Please, because of underground sprinklers DO NOT DRIVE ON THE GRASS IN THIS AREA. Thank you.

Please include any information regarding the need for special assistance with your application.  No post holes may be dug, and no objects are to be used which will harm or deface park property.  Display must be confined within assigned space.  Vendors will be asked to remove unacceptable items from their menu.  Final interpretation of these criteria will be made by the Art Arbor Committee.  No pets are allowed in the park at any time, excluding guide/service dogs.  The sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages is not permitted on City Park Property.  No rain date is scheduled.
