Vending is open to anyone that may want to join us at The Cowpie Blues Festival. We do limit the number of vendors that sell similar products, usually it's first come, first serve. Vendors do need prior approval from The Cowpie Blues Festival and must follow all vendor guidelines listed below.

In order to assure that all vendors are in compliance with State and County regulations please review the following guidelines:

All vendors are required to pre-register with The Cowpie Blues Festival to reserve their vending area. Pre-registration can be done by phone only by calling (616) 293-2675. All vendors and products are to be pre-approved by The Cowpie Blues Festival.

Vendors are allowed a limited number of Cowpie entry passes and free camping if desired. All vendors must submit a name list for festival entry prior to the event. Names not on the list will be charged admission to the festival and will not receive refunds.

All vendors must arrive at the Cowpie Blues Festival grounds by 1pm on Friday, August 8th, 2008. Failure to do so may mean that you may not be able to vend during the festival.

All vendors will be assigned a vending location based upon product and time of arrival at The Cowpie Blues Festival.

All vendors who require electricity must bring at least 200 feet of outdoor extension cord for the electric hook-up. The Cowpie Blues Festival does not have extension cord and will not supply any!

Vendor fees are $50.00 for a 10 foot by 10 foot vending area. The Cowpie Blues Festival does not supply any structure, signage or displays. Vendors are responsible for all components of their booth.

Vendors need to supply their own lighting for their vending area. Remember the festival runs until 12 midnight on both days. We do have area lights for the crowds but these lights will not be sufficient to light your booth.

Vendors must have the ability to secure their booth overnight. We will provide general security but will not be held responsible for booth security on the festival site.

Vendors must be present on the festival site to man their booth on both Friday, August 8th and Saturday, August 9th, 2008.

All food vendors must have a valid Kent County Health Department Food Vendors License Application Receipt. You will be inspected by The Kent County Health Department at the festival site and will receive your license upon their on-site approval. Kent County Health Department Inspections will begin at 1pm on Friday, August 8th, 2008.

In consideration of the price paid for vending, The Michigan Heritage Music Association and The Cowpie Blues Festival grants to the holder a revocable license to vend at the 5th annual Cowpie Blues Festival. Licensee agrees to abide by all rules governing festival vending and attendance and acknowledges that the license granted hereby may be revoked without refund for violation of said rules. Vending and scheduled festival events will proceed regardless of weather conditions. Accordingly, The Michigan Heritage Music Association or The Cowpie Blues Festival makes no warranties or representations regarding vendor sales at The Cowpie Blues Festival and shall issue no refunds on account of sales, vending location and inclement weather.
