Vendor Forms for Blues Fest

Welcome to the Dusk til Dawn Blues Festival! The festival began in 1991, and has gradually built a reputation for great blues music from Oklahoma and beyond. We have space for 6 food vendors – two who sell BBQ, and each of the others have an exclusive on their menu. We provide 30 amp electricity and well water… not for drinking. Setup is before noon on the day you plan to start selling. Gates open at four…outdoor stages run until midnight or 1 am. Then the field closed, and music continues in the Blues Club. There is security on the field all night. You may camp behind your stand if you like. Our dates are Labor Day weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5:00pm- 5:00 am.

The vendors set up on the midway between the outdoor and indoor stages. Outdoor bands start playing at 6:00 pm- the gates open at 4:00 pm. Music outside goes on until midnight or a little later. The Indoor stage goes on until 4 or 5 am. There is lots of foot traffic back and forth between the two stages, up and down the midway. Food vendors are on the south side of midway, and other vendors are on the north side. Each space is approximately 20 feet long.

$50.00 per day. Advance pay of $50 one day, $100 for two days or $150 for three days will hold your spot ASAP or first come first served. 110 current provided.

We sell T-shirts, and only allow bands and blues societies to sell T shirts here. Any other clothing is fine. You will be provided with two vendor passes for workers of your booth; any additional people will be charged general gate admission ($20.00 per day.)

$150.00 per day OR $400 for the 3 day weekend (includes discount), paid in full in advance. If, however you only pay for one day, you will be able to renew by the day during the Fest.

Current is provided to each booth and running water is near by. Our well tested OK but we do not use the water for drinking, but ok for cleanup. There is a secured overnight parking behind each space. We are trying to limit the number of vendors to eight, and keep menus exclusive so everyone has their own market cornered; two B-B-Que vendors. You will be provided with three vendor passes for workers of your booth; any additional people will be charged general gate admission ($20.00 per day, kids and 3 hour volunteers free.)

Vendor entrance will be gate number 4, the furthest one south around the corner on DC Minner Street. Sorry, but we cannot sell you ice. It takes two full ice trailers to chill our beer and pop. You will be on your own for ice. Two vendor wristbands (for non-food vendors) and three vendor wrist bands (for food vendors) is covered by the daily fee.

All people on the grounds must have on a wristband at all times. Others will be charged the general admission of $20.00 per day. However, those who pay general admission have an option of signing up and volunteering for three hours and get the $20.00 back and half off on a festival T-shirt.

PLEASE HELP US OUT – if you see or serve people with no wrist bands on their wrists please act normal to them but immediately notify our security!

Set Up Time: 9 am until noon each day, at which time gate 4 will be closed. Please have your booth open and ready for sales by 6 when the music starts. One vehicle will be allowed (and required to stay) on the field; and only the other vehicles parked in the free lot across the street can come and go at any time.

We Will Handle The Sales Of Beer And Pop, however you are welcome to sell any non-carbonated beverages.

Booths and trailers MUST be self-contained. Please be certified with a state health license, and be prepared to also pay your own sales taxes, as we do not report your sales at the event.

If anyone will work with us by accepting meal tickets, valued at $1.00 each, from our musicians and staff we would be grateful. They will be redeemed in the office at the end of the night or the end of the festival; that is up to you. If you are willing to redeem them at a discount to us (say 20%) we would appreciate that even more!
