RULES & REGULATIONS – APPLICATION INFORMATION (2026)
Please read through all the items listed below carefully. Applicants MUST initial, sign, and date at the end and agree to ALL items in order to be considered for the 2026 Palisade Peach Festival.

Booth Space – Allotment and Placement
I understand that:

The 2026 Palisade Peach Festival WILL BE a “Juried Festival” and space is limited. Vendor selection for the Palisade Peach Festival is a juried process. Priority will be given to vendors who are (1) current Palisade Chamber of Commerce members in good standing and (2) those whose products align with the spirit of the festival by incorporating a peach theme. While we welcome a diverse range of vendors, we encourage applicants to showcase creative, peach-inspired offerings that celebrate our region’s agricultural heritage.

If I am not accepted, my fees will be returned to me in full. Booth space is reserved for retail sales only. Informational booths are available to Festival Sponsors only. For more information about sponsorship, please email events@palisadecoc.com.

Booth space is granted on a first-come, first-served basis, as is electricity. I may request a specific location; however, the space I request cannot be guaranteed, and last year's space will not be automatically granted. All assigned vendor spaces are final and cannot be changed. WE WILL NOT SWITCH VENDORS AROUND.

All sales items require pre-approval. I understand that I may only sell items that have been pre-approved by the Palisade Chamber of Commerce. If I sell unapproved items, my booth may be shut down, my vendor booth fee will NOT be refunded, and I may lose the privilege of participating in future Palisade Chamber of Commerce events.

Electrical Access
I understand that electricity is limited. I am entitled to ONE ELECTRICAL OUTLET, which cannot be used unless paid for prior to the event. Even with payment, electrical access remains first-come, first-served.

I am responsible for providing my own HEAVY-DUTY 100 ft. electrical cord and any necessary adaptors. If unsure about adaptors, I will contact festival coordinators (KOSI Events) for confirmation.

I understand the Palisade Peach Festival is not liable for power outages and strongly encourages bringing a backup power source.

Sales Tax – State of Colorado
I am responsible for paying all applicable taxes to the State of Colorado. The Palisade Chamber of Commerce will provide the State of Colorado with a list of all vendors registered for the 2026 Palisade Peach Festival. I will have my Special Event Sales Tax License with me at the festival.

Booth Info, Decorations, Awnings, “Guy Wires,” & Trailer Tongues
Decorating my booth is encouraged. Decorations, shade awnings, guy wires, and trailer tongues may extend no more than one (1) foot beyond my assigned space.

Booth setup is Friday, August 21, 2026, beginning at 8:30 AM and must be completed by 2:00 PM.

I am allowed 30 minutes of unloading time, and no vehicles are allowed on the grass after 2:00 PM.
Failure to check in by 1:00 PM on Friday may result in loss of booth space unless prior notice has been approved by staff.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND ARRIVE ON TIME.

Booth Photos
I have submitted photos of my booth with my application.

Photo Release
I agree to waive any/all rights to photos or images taken of me and my booth during the 2026 Peach Festival. The Palisade Chamber of Commerce may use these photos for promotional purposes.

Wristbands / Parking
I understand I will receive 5 wristbands and that all workers in my booth must be wristbanded prior to arriving at the festival.
(Additional vendor wristbands are $5 before the festival. Wristbands purchased at the festival are $20 each.)

I will receive 1 parking pass. One additional parking pass may be purchased for $20 before the festival.
NO PARKING PASSES WILL BE SOLD AT THE FESTIVAL.

Vendors are allowed one parking spot in designated vendor parking. All other vehicles must park in the overflow vendor lot on the NW end of the attendee parking lot or at designated offsite lots within the Town of Palisade. Free shuttle service is provided from off-site parking lots.

NO SMOKING ON FESTIVAL GROUNDS.

NO on-site camping. Please make overnight lodging arrangements well in advance as we will not be able to allow you to stay onsite overnight per Town of Palisade ordinance.

Refunds
I will receive a full refund, minus a $50 processing fee, for cancellations made before May 1, 2026.
After that date: NO REFUNDS, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Deposit Fee
A refundable $150 deposit is required to secure participation. This ensures compliance with event policies and proper booth cleanup. The deposit will be returned after the festival upon verification that all requirements are met. Refunds will be processed on August 25, 2026.
