Musician Information
We love our vendors and aim to create a bustling marketplace for attendees to enjoy. If you’re a food vendor, BBQ sauce maker, craft brewer, or local artisan, consider joining us! Vendor benefits: We are NOT charging an upfront booth fee. Instead, vendors will contribute 10% of their sales from the day back to the event. This way, you’re not out-of-pocket if sales are slow – we succeed together. We expect a great turnout, so you’ll have lots of foot traffic. Each vendor will get a 10’x10’ space (with options to expand if needed for food trucks or larger setups) in a prime location around the competition area. We provide basic power and water access if required (just let us know in advance).
Types of Vendors Wanted:
Food Vendors: Especially BBQ and grill-themed foods (because people will definitely be hungry for BBQ!), but we also welcome dessert stands (ice cream, shaved ice, baked goods – a sweet treat after all that meat), and unique snack vendors. We aim for a variety so offerings aren’t too redundant.
Beverage Vendors:
We have Sip and Vibe SLC will handle beverage sales exclusively.
Merchandise & Craft Vendors:
BBQ tools, grills, spices, sauces, cookbooks, or any local crafts that fit the vibe (think rustic, food, or outdoor themed products) would be great.
Vendor Application:
If you’d like to sell at the event, please contact us or fill out the Vendor Application form on our website. We’ll need to ensure you have appropriate food permits (for food vendors) in line with the Utah Department of Health regulations. All vendors preparing food on-site will need a temporary food event permit (we can assist with guidance on obtaining that through Utah County Health Dept). Food safety is a priority for us. Vendors should also carry general liability insurance naming the event as additional insured (standard for festivals). If you have questions, our vendor coordinator will help you through it.
Vendor Setup:
Setup will begin early morning on event day (exact times will be provided). You must be ready to serve by the time gates open at 11:00 AM. Bring your own tent, tables, and any equipment (we can rent you equipment if needed, possibly for a small fee or through a sponsor arrangement). Make sure to have signage and prices clearly posted. Also, since part of your proceeds go back to the event, we will work out a simple system to track sales (likely honor system with end-of-day sales report or using a point-of-sale that we provide). The 10% give-back will support local charity initiatives and cover event costs.
Being a vendor at the BBQ Competition is a fantastic way to connect with the community, market your products, and be part of a new exciting food festival. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy the event too! We’ll promote our vendors on social media ahead of time, so early sign-up is encouraged to take advantage of that marketing.
