  • When is the registration deadline?

    To help us plan the event and finalize vendor placement, all vendor applications and payments should be submitted by September 30, 2026. Registrations received on or after October 1, 2026 will incur a $25 late registration fee. Early registration is encouraged, as vendor spaces are limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • What are booth sizes?

    Standard vendor spaces are approximately 10' x 10'. Vendors should plan their booth, tables, displays, and merchandise to remain within their assigned space.

  • Can I request a larger booth space?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Is electricity available?

    Availability varies by location. Please indicate electrical needs on your application.

  • Are spaces assigned on a first-come basis?

    Vendor spaces are limited and assigned on a first-approved basis. Early applications are encouraged.

  • Are vendor booths indoors or outdoors?

    Vendor booths are located outdoors on the St. Rita campus. Vendors should plan accordingly for Arizona weather and outdoor condition

  • When can vendors set up?

    Approved vendors will receive setup instructions and arrival times before the festival.

  • Are tables, chairs, or tents provided?

    No. Vendors are responsible for providing their own tent, tables, chairs, displays, and other booth equipment. Most vendors use 8' or 10' tables within their assigned space.

  • Can I leave my booth set up overnight Friday?

    Tents, tables, chairs, and display fixtures may remain in place overnight and do not need to be completely broken down Friday evening.


    However, the vendor area is not secured overnight. While the St. Rita campus has security cameras, vendors are responsible for securing and/or removing their merchandise and personal property at the end of Friday evening. St. Rita in the Desert cannot assume responsibility for merchandise, equipment, or other personal property left on parish property overnight. We strongly recommend removing merchandise and valuables Friday evening and returning with them Saturday.


  • Can food vendors participate?

    Yes. Food vendors are welcome and must meet applicable licensing and health requirements.

  • I sell prepackaged baked goods or cottage-food products. Am I considered a Food Vendor?

    Not necessarily. Vendors selling prepackaged cottage-food products, baked goods, candies, chocolate-covered treats, jams, or similar items that require no onsite cooking or food preparation may qualify for the Artisan & Handmade Goods category.


    Food trucks and vendors preparing, cooking, assembling, or serving food onsite are generally classified as Food Vendors.


    If you're unsure which category applies to your business, please contact us before submitting payment, and we'll be happy to help.

  • Can I sell handmade goods and prepackaged cottage-food products from the same booth?

    Yes, provided the products comply with applicable requirements and have been disclosed on your vendor application. For example, an artisan selling handmade crafts along with individually packaged cottage-food treats may operate from the same approved booth.

  • Will there be other vendors selling the same products as me?

    Some product overlap is possible. However, we are intentionally working to create a diverse mix of vendors and avoid unnecessary duplication whenever possible. Vendor acceptance and placement are based in part on creating a varied and enjoyable Harvest Market for our guests.

  • Are ministries charged a fee?

    Parish ministries are welcome to participate and should contact the festival committee chairperson for information regarding booth registration.
