  • Booth Ad Ons

  • Power is available to you unless you are in Cannabis Cove, Hempsterdam, or part of the Seeley Black areas.

    If you do not see the option to purchase power below this means you selected a location above that does not come with power.

  • Canopy/Table Rentals -

  • Canopies will be set up in your booth location ready for your arrival. Your tables, chairs, etc will be delivered shortly after you arrive the first time. You are responsible for lost or damaged rental equipment.

    Rentals are only available until sold out!
  • I understand that I am responsible for my rented items. I will be billed replacement value for any damaged or missing items. I will leave all rented items in my canopy and seal it closed when I load of out Seattle Hempfest. If I did not rent a canopy I will drop off my rented tables, chairs, banner poles at Operations on my way out Sunday night. I agree to use the credit card on file to process payment if I have damaged or lost any items.
     

  • ICE -

  • 20# bags of ice are available near the Main Stage Bridge. Ice Coupons are sold for $10 per bag. There are no ice sales on site. Tickets are not refundable.

  • Load In Fee

  • Vehicle entry fee is $60 per vehicle. Entry will be timed and you will not be allowed entry without this pass. You must purchase a vehicle entry pass for each vehicle you’ll use to load in/out of the park.

    I agree to arrive during the designated times. If I do not I understand I’ll be turned away. If I am late I will have to walk my products into/out of the park. If I arrive and I have not purchased a vehicle entry pass I understand that I will be turned away and not allowed to drive into the park. By not purchasing entry passes I acknowledge that I will be walking my products in and out. I also understand that there is no guarantee to the safety of my products left over night in my booth space. Items left in my booth are left there at my own risk
     

  • Wood -

  • The City also requires that all tires have wood under them at all times.

    You’ll need wood squares big enough to drive each of your tires onto.

    This is typically 4 pc of ¾” plywood cut to 16x16 squares.

    If you do not have wood under your tires it jeopardizes our permit so we’ll have to ask you to leave the park and go get wood and start load in all over again – and that’s a bummer!

    I understand that I will need to have my wood out each time I drive into the park. I will have it out and ready to show to the Traffic Monitors each time I enter the park. I understand that if I forget my wood I will not be allowed to enter the park and I’ll have to walk my products in. I understand that Seattle Hempfest does not have extra wood on site.

    I’ll have my wood out when I check in as a condition of entry. I understand and agree to this

  • Rules & Regulations

  • Please review and read each of these carefully. We unfortunately have had to suspend some vendors due to rule violations. While the rules may be no fun, they are a necessary part of our annual permit.

    We are serious about these policies. If you don’t intend on following the rules, or think we’re kidding, stop your application now, come and enjoy Hempfest as an attendee instead of vending.

    Remember, if this City didn’t make us, we wouldn’t make you!

    Rules
  • You will not sell or sample cannabis, cannabis seeds, or foods with cannabis in them or any illegal narcotic.  Your booth will be shut down immediately. There is a zero tolerance policy that will be strictly enforced. All fees and your space will be forfeited.
  • All parties must be listed on this application. Sub leasing or transferring of booth spaces is not allowed.
  • You will have wood under your tires at all times. We know it seems silly but the City of Seattle requires that all vehicles have wood under their tires while in the park. If you choose to bring your own, you must have your wood out and ready when you load in each day. We must see your wood squares before you’ll be allowed to enter. If you fail to bring wood or purchase it we simply cannot allow you in the park or we’ll be in violation of our permit! Once you’re in the park you must park on your wood.
  • You will not sell or sample Salvia, Spice, K2 or any other similar substance.

  • If I am sampling any type of food product, I understand that I must register with the King County Health Department and obtain a Temporary Food Service Permit at least 21 days prior to the event to avoid a fine by the health department and possible booth closure.

  • If I am sampling food products I will use compostable utensils and serving containers. These can be purchased from Cedar Grove,http://www.gogreenscene.com/Food_Services-list.aspx or must be compliant to their compostable specification http://www.cedar-grove.com/commercial/accepted-items/ or Cedar Grove will not accept them for compost.

  • I agree to stay within my 10x10x10 booth space. No multi level structures are allowed. Your booth must be a single story, on the ground. We are required to maintain certain distances from the paths. Moving or expanding your booth is in violation of our permit. This includes hanging items from trees or other park structures.
  • I agree to remove all my booth materials from my area upon exit on Sunday night. Everything I brought will leave with me. Pack it in; pack it out!

I understand that I will be billed, $1,000, per tree, for broken branch(es) or significant damage.
  • Creating of private medicating areas within your booth space is prohibited. All areas of your booth must be open to all of the public at all times.

  • Seattle has a City wide ban on Styrofoam. In accordance with this no Styrofoam may be brought on site.
  • I will not distribute any stickers for free. We’ve had to pay upwards or $2,000 in sticker removal fees as attendees love to put them in inappropriate places.
