Booth FAQ

For information about being a sponsor, vendor, or informational booth for this event please review our Booth FAQ document.

When is the deadline?

We encourage all applicants to apply early, as we review applications on a rolling basis, monthly. Once a particular category of the event is at capacity, we will close that application, so do not wait until the deadline or you may be too late.

If the individual category does not fill up earlier, here is when each application will close:

Vendor & Info Booths / Entertainment Applications Close: August 15th, 2026
Sponsor Application Closes: August 30th, 2026

IMPORTANT: We are unable to accommodate late applications.

When will I hear back about my application?

All applications will be reviewed monthly, so please allow at least 30 days for us to get back to you with a response. We will accept applications until we have reached capacity in that category (ie. food & drink, alcohol, resource and vendor booths, etc.)

Priority will be given to non-profits that directly serve specifically the queer community and vendor booths that are queer-owned. If your booth does not meet either of these criteria you may be denied or placed on a waitlist.

We strive to have a variety of vendors, so if there are many booths of similar type that apply, priority will be given to those that are queer-owned, have unique offerings, and applied earliest.
