FAQs

How do I apply to be a vendor at the event?

You can apply by completing the Temporary Food Dispenser or Peddler application form online or in person by the stated deadline. Deadlines to apply are typically a week before the event unless otherwise stated by the event coordinator.

What types of vendors are accepted?

We accept a variety of vendors, including food vendors, artisans, retail businesses, community organizations, and service providers. All vendors must align with the event's mission and standards.

If you are providing a service or giving out free information, you are considered a Civic vendor. You only need to fill out a Peddler form, and do not need to provide the additional documents that go along with that application. Fees may still apply.

Is there a fee to participate as a vendor?

Yes, vendor fees vary based on the type of vendor (e.g., food vs. non-food). Fee details are included in the vendor application packet.

Do I need a business license to participate?

Yes. If your business is based in Park Forest (even if online), it must be registered with the Village. All vendors must have a business name in good standing according to Illinois state law.
