All vendors shall have an approved fire extinguisher in their booth. Fire extinguishers must be appropriate for the content of the exhibition space (proper A, B, C, and/or K ratings). All tents must be labeled as fire-retardant.
All sales belong to you, and you are solely responsible for collecting and reporting applicable sales tax. Vendors are responsible for a 1% Merchant Gross Sales Tax to the City of Panama City Beach. Each vendor will be provided the necessary Merchant Form and information provided by the City of Panama City Beach on the day of the Event.
There is no smoking by vendors and/or vendor employees on the festival grounds.
You are responsible for the security of your space and equipment.

All prices for food must be posted and clearly visible to Festival patrons.
Food vendors are responsible for removal of their trash to the designated dumpster area as frequently as necessary, but at least once daily.
The disposal of used cooking grease is the responsibility of the vendor.
All vendor applications are subject to the final approval of the event organizer. In the event that the event organizer does not accept a vendor application, all fees paid will be promptly refunded. The event organizer cannot guarantee exclusivity. In cases where it appears vendors (other than food) might be selling like items, we will do our best to make sure that there is some separation.
