NEW THIS YEAR – COMMUNITY TENT FOR VENDORS!
The purpose of our NEW Community Tent at Columbus Pride is to encourage small, grass-roots, locally-based community organizations to participate in our Festival; groups that previously may not have been able to afford a booth space. The Community Tent is located near the entrance of Bicentennial Park at Second and Main streets.
Through the generous sponsorship of United Way of Central Ohio, we offer this festival space at a discounted rate. We believe it is important that Columbus Pride have the full participation of all of our community organizations, regardless of size or annual budget. You do not have to be a specifically LGBTQ group/organization to apply but you must, in some way, serve the citizens of Columbus.
All interested organizations/groups must apply to have a table in the Community Tent.
No for-profit vendors will be accepted and no for-profit products may be sold, advertised or distributed at these spaces.
All Community Table Vendors receive one 6’ table and 2 chairs located within the Community Tent which is well-lit and vendors will not need to provide their own lighting.
The cost for a Community Table is $100 for 2 days. Organizations may only obtain one table in this area. Signage will be allowed at your table and on the tent wall directly behind your table.
You may apply to be a Community Table Vendor if ALL of the following conditions are true for your organization or group:
- Your organization is not for profit.
- Your organization annual budget is $50,000 or less
- You will staff your table both Friday and Saturday of the Festival
- Your organization will not have another booth location elsewhere at the Festival
- Your organization will not share a table with another organization or group
- Your organization will not purchase a table to be used by a different organization or group
Preference will be given to organizations that are local and those that have never had a vendor booth at the Columbus Pride Festival.
