50% refund by June 1st. No refunds after June 1st for any reason. Any returned checks will be charged an NSF fee of $50.00. COVID cancellation – should the festival be cancelled vendor fees will be refunded or applied to next year’s festival.

ALL vendors must follow state and county COVID regulations and requirements.

Priority is given to returning vendors who have their completed applications, all payments and insurance on file by April 15th. Booth space is assigned first to returning vendors (if they have met the April 15th deadline) and then on a first come, first served basis. Information on your booth location and official set-up time will be provided prior to the festival in your vendor pack provided ALL REQUIRED paperwork and payments have been received.

Food Vendors: Friday 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Saturday 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. Sunday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Street Vendors (Non-Food Vendors): Friday 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Saturday 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. Sunday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. All vendors are required to remain open during the hours listed above.

All non-food street vendors will be assigned a set-up window for Friday. All booths must be ready for the festival to open at 3:00 pm. All food vendors will be assigned a time for set-up on Friday starting at 9:00 am. All food booths must be prepared for fire inspection by 2:00 pm. All refrigerators and freezers must come in cold. Whaling Days only supplies the space for your booth. All other needed items must be supplied by the vendor.

Any vehicle required for take-down of your booth may not enter festival grounds until 6:00pm on Sunday. Your assigned booth area must be completely cleaned or your organization will be charged a cleaning fee of $100 and not invited back as a vendor in subsequent festivals.

Replenishing of supplies is allowed before and after festival hours and can be made by any vehicle displaying a vendor pass with your booth number on it. All vehicles must be off of festival grounds by 2:00 pm on Friday and by 9:00 am on Saturday and Sunday. No vehicles may enter festival grounds prior to 10:00 pm on Friday and Saturday nights. Any vehicle found in violation of these rules will be towed at the owner’s expense. Vendor parking is available along the side streets or in any of the pay to park lots.

-I understand that Silverdale Whaling Days reserves the right to contract with local beverage providers and I agree to adhere to any requirements. Homemade and specialty mixes excluded (ex. iced tea, lemonade, and coffee).

Each food vendor must provide a 32-gallon trash receptacle. Each non-food vendor must provide an appropriate garbage can for their booth’s needs. All vendor trash receptacles must be emptied by the vendor themselves. Whaling Days provides two 30-yard dumpsters for vendor use. One dumpster is located at the south end of Washington Avenue, and the other is near the intersection of Washington Avenue and Lowell Street. Vendors may use either dumpster. Please note that: (1) all cardboard boxes MUST be broken down or crushed before being placed in the dumpsters, and (2) NO cooking oil may be placed in or near the dumpsters. A cooking oil collection container might be available at the festival to recycle used oil; otherwise, vendors must take all used oil with them at the end of the festival. Vendors who fail to comply with these requirements or leave items, trash, or ground stains behind when packing up after the close of the festival or otherwise
