Important Gallivan Plaza Vendor Rules & Regulations
All artisans are required to adhere to these rules that Gallivan Center has established for event vendors. Failure to do so may result in removal from the event and may jeopardize your participation in future festivals.
- Exhibitors must use their assigned load-in times and load-in zones. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Exhibitors must use their assigned spot and shall not overflow into adjoining areas. Exhibitors with table spaces may use space behind their tables within reason, but must keep the area in front of their tables free and open in order to avoid hindering traffic flow, and to remain in compliance with fire code. Hanging items from trees is NOT allowed.
- For safety reasons, exhibitors bringing their own booths must supply 50 lb weights for each leg of their booth. Exhibitors bringing umbrellas for their table spaces must weight them using 50 lb weights.
- Exhibitors must be in their booths 1.5 hours before showtime each day of the festival.
- Festival credentials are non-transferable and may not be passed to others not working the festival.
- Exhibitors are responsible for securing all licenses and permits necessary to participate in the event.
- Exhibitors are responsible for filing sales taxes with the Utah State Tax Commission for the event.
- No alcoholic beverages may be brought in from outside the Plaza. Exhibitors violating this rule may be asked to leave by security.
- Exhibitors may not leave the festival early (unless given a specific exemption by Craft Lake City staff prior to the festival). Load out begins after the festival ends at 7 p.m. on Sunday. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Exhibitors must load out by no later than 9 p.m. on Sunday, leaving their spaces empty and free of trash and debris.

- You are responsible for removing trash generated at your booth or table. The festival bins are for patrons only. Bring your own bins and/or trash bags for trash removal, and empty it regularly. You are responsible for ensuring your area is clean and trash does not build up. You are responsible for packing out your trash each day.
- All exhibitors must properly dispose of all liquids: grease, oil, water, etc. Do not dump any liquids in planters or down Plaza surface drains. Grease and oils must be removed from the Plaza by the exhibitor. Waste water may be disposed of in the main building’s restroom.
