We will do the best we can to accommodate single night date and location preferences and will contact vendors with alternatives if we are unable to fulfill requests. Vendors selling food must commit to all seven (7) weeks.
  • Vendors will be allotted 12’x12′ spot. Food Trucks, trailers, and displays that require a larger space will be charged a surcharge.

  • Vendors are responsible for providing their own tent, table, chairs, etc. Tents are recommended, but not required.

  • A 25% discount will be applied to full-season (7-week) vendors from the City of White Bear Lake. A 50% discount will be applied to full-season (7-week) vendors who have a business in the Downtown White Bear Lake Special Service District that is outside of the Marketfest map. Businesses inside of the Marketfest footprint may participate in front of their stores free of charge.
  • We have very limited access to electricity and will try to accommodate requests when possible. As an alternative, quiet generators are permitted. If a generator is too loud or disruptive, vendors will be asked to make other arrangements and/or be removed from Marketfest without a refund.
