Downtown Meridian
VENDOR APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED
The second Oktoberfest event in Downtown Meridian in 2023 was a huge success for all those involved. The event throughout the day recorded an attendance of just over 11,000 people. The vendors that participated last year all remarked on the value of this event.
The 2024 Meridian Oktoberfest event is looking for vendors to participate in the event this year. There is a committee that will review each application to ensure we are getting the mix of vendors and products that our attendees are looking for this year. This includes a specific need in food vendors to meet our culturally appropriate needs for an authentic Oktoberfest cuisine selection.
Vendor will be expected to have their booth completely set up and staffed no later than 9:55am. Event start time is 10am and all vehicles and set up equipment should be stored out of sight or returned to vehicles. Your booth is expected to be open for business from 10:00 AM till 9:00 PM. Some exceptions could be made for youth-focused vendors.
