NON-PROFIT/POLITICAL

APPLICATION SUBMISSION:
Deadline (with payment in full) is Wednesday July 20. No applications will be accepted after this date. Submission of application does not guarantee a space. The final determination on all booth spaces will be made by the Main Street Festival committee. If you are not accepted into the festival, your full application fee will be refunded to you. You will be notified by email of the committee’s acceptance/rejection of your application.

NON-PROFIT/POLITICAL BOOTH HOURS:
10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 12, 2023.

Exhibitor spaces should be attended during these hours.

WEATHER:
This is an outdoor festival and will be held regardless of weather. There will be no refunds.

BOOTH INFORMATION:
Booth spaces are available on a paid-in-full and first-received basis.

Vendors/Exhibitors must provide their own E-Z Ups, canopies, tables, chairs, displays, screens, backdrops, etc.
All spaces are 10’x10’. No part of your display/product may protrude beyond your 10×10’ allotted space.

Winds and rain can impact the canopy or E-Z Up, so plan accordingly. Sand buckets, water buckets or weights must be used to secure the tent to resist the winds. Stakes may not be used on streets or sidewalks.

YOU MAY NOT SUBLET ANY PART OF YOUR SPACE WITHOUT EXPLICIT APPROVAL FROM THE CHAMBER.

Electric is not available for non-profit/political booths.

PRODUCTS/SERVICES:
ONLY FOOD/BEVERAGE VENDORS AND FOOD TRUCKS MAY SELL/DISTRIBUTE FOOD AND BEVERAGES. Commercial Exhibitors, Vendors/Exhibitors and Non-Profit/Political booths may not sell or freely distribute any food or beverages, including bottled water. This would place you in competition with the food vendors, who pay a higher fee for the privilege of providing food and beverages, and who are licensed and inspected by the Stark County Health Department.

SET-UP:
Set-up time is dependent on where your space is located and will be Friday, August 11, between 7-9 p.m. You will be notified of your space assignment and set-up details by email one week prior to the event. Volunteers will be available if you need assistance locating your space. All vehicles must be out of the festival area and moved to parking spaces by 9 p.m. Friday and 9:15 a.m. Saturday.

PARKING:
Since exhibitors are the first to arrive and the last to leave the event, parking should not be a problem. There will be on-street parking and parking lots available (if the businesses are not open).

SECURITY:
North Canton Police will be on-site to secure the streets and patrol overnight, as well as during the event. Neither the City of North Canton nor the North Canton Area Chamber of Commerce will be held liable for loss of, or damage to, merchandise or displays.

FESTIVAL STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS:
Festival volunteers and committee members will be available to offer assistance. Please do not hesitate to ask any of these volunteers and staff for help.

FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE:
Festival volunteers will be available to pick up and deliver food to you if you are alone and cannot leave your post. There is no charge for this service, just for the cost of the food. Simply call the Chamber office at 330-499-5100 to request this service.
