Do I need to be at the Festival All Three Days?

Yes. We require that you have someone manning your booth for all three days during festival hours. Obviously breaks are allowed. But we do ask that you try to have someone at your booth as often as possible.

Do you have [Insert Direct Sales Company] Already Signed up?

That's a great question! Please refer to this document for a current list of direct sale companies already signed up. If your company is already listed but you're still interested in having a booth at Sellersburg Celebrates! then please fill out the online form to be put on a waiting list. Booth spaces are first come, first served. If someone fails to make a payment on their booth space then the spot will open up for the next person on the list.

When is set up?

All booths must be set up by 3:00PM on the first day of the festival (Thurs). A fire marshal inspection will take place shortly after setup is to be complete. You do not need to be at your booth for this - if there is an issue I will contact you directly.

Booth assignments will be sent out via email Wednesday morning. A festival representative may not be able to assist you on the field at all times during set up. As such, please keep an eye out for the email regarding the assignments.

When is breakdown?

On the last day of Sellersburg Celebrates tear down may begin at 11:00PM or after it is announced over the speaker. Tear down is also permitted the Sunday after the festival. You are required to be at the festival until 11PM on Saturday. Anyone caught breaking down before the announcement will not be allowed to return as a vendor.

Where do I park?

Vendor parking is first come, first served. One pass will be given to each vendor. You can purchase additional parking passes at the information booth upon check in or at any time during the festival. Advance purchase of vendor parking passes can be done upon registration.

Do you limit types of booths?

Yes. We strive to offer a diverse vendor experience by limiting the number of booths with similar products or services, including independent consultants, MLMs, and direct sales businesses. This helps reduce attendee fatigue from seeing the same types of booths repeatedly and creates a more enjoyable shopping experience for everyone.

That said, we cannot guarantee exclusivity. Depending on the number of applications we receive, there may be more than one vendor offering similar products or services.

If you have questions about whether your business would be a good fit, please contact us before applying. We're happy to help.

What is the turnout like?

We estimate that over 5,000 - 10,000 people turn out for the duration of the festival. When our main event takes the stage, we frequently run out of parking spaces.

Is the event ever cancelled for rain?

No. Sellersburg Celebrates does not have a scheduled rain date.

In cases of severe weather, the festival committee may delay, suspend, or cancel activities if necessary to protect the safety of our attendees, volunteers, vendors, and entertainers. Fortunately, weather-related cancellations have been rare throughout our 35+ year history.

A few notable examples include:

2015: Severe weather forced the festival to end early. While disappointing for everyone, it inspired our 2017 festival theme, "Weather or Not."
2020: The festival was canceled in accordance with state COVID-19 restrictions.
2023: Severe weather required us to end one evening's festivities about two hours early. The remainder of the festival weekend proceeded as scheduled.

Our committee closely monitors weather conditions throughout the festival and makes decisions with safety as the top priority.

Is there overnight security to protect my products?

Yes. There are officers dedicated to the park overnight Wednesday evening through Saturday evening. However, we are not liable for any theft or damages.

Do you provide anything like chairs, tables or tents?

Nothing is provided by the festival committee. Tables, chairs, and tents are suggested items that you should bring. Electricity is provided, but you must provide your own extension cords.

What is the space size and is electricity provided?

Craft booths are 10ft x 10ft. Electricity is provided, but you must bring your own extension cords. You may need up to 100+ ft..
