    FOOD VENDORS WANTED!

    Bemus Point Fall Fest is Sept. 12-14, 2025

    We are looking for food vendors & trucks to enhance our Fall Fest event.

    The rate for a space is $175 for new vendors, and $150 for returning vendors – checks made payable to the BPBA (Bemus Point Business Association) or register through our digital platform.

    HOURS: Booths must be open Sat. from 10 AM - 5 PM & Sun. from 10 AM – 5 PM. You are welcome to stay later if you wish!

    YOU MUST PROVIDE COPIES OF YOUR FOOD VENDING PERMIT/LICENSE & INSURANCE

    This is an outdoor show – Vendors are responsible for supplying their own tent and tables. Electricity is limited, if you require it, you must indicate so on your application. The collection and reporting of NYS tax is the responsibility of the Exhibitor. No food or beverage may be sold from any booth without approval by the BPBA. We ask that all food vendors bring their own trash cans if possible. We will be doing a nightly pickup.

    2025 UPDATE: PLEASE REVIEW

    We are thrilled to announce that Fall Fest is expanding! With our growth, we are adding more vendors and potentially live entertainment to enhance the experience for all attendees. However, our local government has requested that we implement new safety regulations, which will affect the layout of the event.

    To ensure everyone's safety, booths will be more spread out to allow ample space for pedestrian movement. Please note the following important points:

    Booth Locations: We cannot guarantee your previous location. You are welcome to submit a request for a specific spot, and we will do our best to accommodate you. However, there are no guarantees.

    Merchandise Overlap: We understand the importance of unique offerings, and we will make every effort to separate booths with similar merchandise. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee there won't be some overlap.

    Decorum/Behavior: If you break any points of the vendor contract (including but not limited to: breaking-down and leaving early without prior authorization, not parking in the designated location, not coming on Friday when you agreed to originally, and if we receive reports that you are being rude or disrespectful to our volunteers/staff) you will be asked to leave and will not be welcome back to future shows.

    Communication: We ask that all communications regarding Fall Fest vending are done via email to visitbemuspoint@gmail.com

    NYS Tax ID: You must provide your New York State Tax ID as part of your registration process.

    Insurance: Our insurance company is now requiring that all vendors provide proof of insurance. Don't have insurance for your business? Don't worry! Your home insurance can act as your coverage. "Vendors must provide proof of liability insurance listing Bemus Point Business Association as additional insured. If there is no business entity, personal liability on a homeowners policy is acceptable." There is not required coverage amount, just proof of insurance.

    If any of these points are a concern, you may reconsider your participation, although we certainly hope you choose to join us!

    Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated as we work to make Fall Fest a safe and enjoyable event for everyone. Thank you for being a part of our growing festival!

    All decisions by the BPBA Fall Fest Committee are final.
