Rules for Food Vendors:

  1. You MAY NOT sell any soda products. No vendors are permitted to sell soda products. All soda will be sold from the HHH booth for fundraising during the entire event. YOU MAY sell all other non-alcohol beverages.
  2. YOU MAY sell bottled water. If you are selling bottled water, you can not sell it for any price less than $2 per 16oz bottle. This is the price set for all vendors as not to compete with the HHH fundraising booth.
  3. No other vendors are permitted to sell fried pickles or funnel cakes as not to compete with an HHH board member vendor assisting in the benefit fundraising.
  4. There will be NO ELECTRICITY anywhere at the event that is powerful enough for the needs of a food vendor running cooking equipment. Food trucks and food tents are required to provide their own electricity by generator only.

Rules for All Vendors:

  1. The Springapalooza Mall Festival 2024 is a 1 day event that will be held Saturday, March 23rd, 2024 on Main Street and Donaldson Park of downtown Avon Park, Florida.
  2. All vendors are required to stay for the entire duration of the event UNLESS you have sold out of your merchandise. If you are leaving early, please communicate with HHH to let us know. Failure to do so could prevent us from allowing you to return for future events. Vendors signing up late will be placed at the end of the event after all other vendors.
  3. We have space for 150+ general vendor booths and 10 food trucks. All vendors will be assigned booth spaces starting at the entrance of Donaldson Park and working outward in both directions on Main Street and in the park. (This is more easily envisioned when looking at the event map) This year vendors will set up their booths ON THE STREET and not in the grass like was done in previous years. This will allow handicap patrons better access to browse vendor booths and also free up shaded grass areas for seating and family picnicking during the event which will encourage visitors to stay longer and enjoy the events of the day.
  4. Each vendor booth space is 12 ft. wide x 12 ft. deep. Each food truck space is assigned according to the size of the space needed. If you need more space, please sign up for the appropriate number of booth spaces needed. You are allowed to purchase more than one booth space.
  5. While we can not guarantee the amount of people that will be attending this event, based on this same event in all the past years as well as our first year returning last year, we are expecting between 2000 and 3000. This is only a very rough estimate. It could be much more (as seen at this same event held for many, many decades in the past) or a little less because it’s still new and only our 2nd year bringing it back. With the entertainment and activities planned, we expect a very large turnout. This event will be advertised on radio, newspaper and social media as well as out of town advertising, so it will reach a very large audience.
  6. No electricity will be provided. There are a few outlets in the vendor areas that you are welcome to use IF you find one near by, but these outlets share circuits with several other outlets and can be easily blown. We will not be able to restore electrical to your outlet during the event if this occurs. These outlets are only good for plugging in a fan or phone charger and there are not many outlets around. Please bring your own generator if you need electricity. Food trucks MUST bring their own generators. No exceptions.
  7. You will be required to submit your full payment for your vendor space upon completing the registration form.
  8. Because this is a family event, all tangible sales of guns and adult toys are prohibited. You CAN take orders for these items and schedule delivery of them to your customers at a later date, but you can not have these products readily available at the Springapalooza event.
  9. There will be absolutely NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES of any kind allowed to be sold at this event under the order of the City of Avon Park. No exceptions!
  10. There will be many handmade craft vendors at this event. Many of these vendors make similar products, but all have different styles. We can not guarantee that there will not be another vendor at the event selling similar products to yours. When the time comes we have more help organizing these events, we will do our best to monitor this more closely to prevent too many duplicates, but for now we all have to appreciate having a little healthy competition and be prepared to bring your A game.
  11. This is a rain or shine event. Heartland Helping Hands Inc. is not guaranteeing any vendor will make any certain amount of money during this event and we can not guarantee good weather or the amount of people that will attend.

THE DEADLINE FOR VENDOR REGISTRATION IS SATURDAY, MARCH 16th AT 11:59 PM. LATE VENDOR REGISTRATION IS FROM MARCH 17th TO MARCH 21st WITH AN ADDITIONAL $30 LATE REGISTRATION FEE.
We will automatically adjust the vendor registration pricing on the registration form to reflect the higher fee on March 17th. Please make sure to register by March 16th to avoid paying the $30 late registration fee. We can not waive the late registration fee for anyone. No exceptions. Late registrations causes additional work and puts more strain and stress on us finalizing the vendor space assignments in addition to the other 10,000 things that need to be done in the final days leading up to the event.

All assigned vendor spaces and final vendor information will be emailed to all vendors no later than Monday, March 18th, 2024. Please make sure to check your spam folders if you do not receive your email. It also helps to add HeartlandHelpingHandsInc@gmail.com to your white list or create a filter in your email client to make sure all emails from HeartlandHelpingHandsInc@gmail.com go straight to your inbox.
