VENDOR INFORMATION

  
Hello Valued Vendor!

 The Dublin Peanut Festival Committee takes pleasure in inviting you to be part of our 20th annual Dublin Peanut Festival in Dublin, NC on Saturday, September 15, 2012. Excitement is always in the air on this day! The Festival begins with a parade at 10:00 am followed by lots of entertainment including rides, games, music, a car show and most important…..craft vendors and food vendors! The cost to participate this year is $35 for craft vendors and $150 for food vendors. Please return your registration form along with the cost of your booth by September 1st, 2012. New Information beginning 2011. Anyone wishing to set up a booth that is just giving away information such as brochures, etc. will be charged a vendor fee of $35.00. Also, any vendor that does not pay their fees before Festival Day will be charged an additional $20.00. Anyone paying the morning of the festival will be CASH ONLY. Food vendors please note that the only food products you will not be allowed to sell are peanuts, hot dogs, sausage dogs and bar-b-que as these are the food items we sell.  

We ask that you set up prior to 8:30 am. Note: set up can begin Friday after 3:30 PM. However, the Dublin Peanut Festival will not be responsible for any property loss or damage that may occur overnight. Please do not break down until 4:00 pm.  Breaking down early and trying to drive your vehicle through the festival site could result in an accident to guests attending the festival.

The Bladen County Health Department will need all Food Vendor Applications and Fees by September 1st, 2012.  The address and application can be found on the Bladen County Heath Department Food Permit which is included in a link at the bottom of the page.  The Bladen County Health Department requires all food vendors to use a tent to cover their food space. All food vendors must bring their own tent(s)--the Peanut Festival does not supply or provide tents.
