Get Started: Registration

Step 1: Choose Location

For FOOD VENDORS, choose your preferred area: Primary(yellow area on the park map below), or Secondary (waterfront area outside of the park). Take note of this preferred vendor area and fill it out in the registration form. If you don’t pick an area, we will choose one for you. Please note that area preferences are not guaranteed. 

For ALL VENDORS, the Bridgefest Committee will assign specific vendor locations, making every effort to accommodate vendor requests, but reserves the right to assign spaces as necessary.  Spaces are available on on first-come, first serve basis with specific vendor needs as an additional consideration.
