Vendor Information

The Seward Mermaid Festival is a great way to share your business with the seaside community and Alaskans from all over the state. Over the years, we've seen booths from brands you know and love. We want to support local Alaskan brands and will not accept multi-level marketing vendors like Avon, LulaRoe, etc. Scroll to the bottom of this page to review the full list of vendor rules and additional information.

1

Basic Vendor Booth
$200.00

This 10 X 10 space is as simple as it gets. There is no power and generators are not welcome at the event so we can hear the beautiful music. 

​

Bring your own table and tent to share your product with the merfolk and pirates.

2

Food Truck Space
$250.00

Swimming works up quite the appetite and merfolk appreciate good food. In previous years, our food truck vendors ran out of supplies every day! We will find a space to accommodate your truck size and place the food vendors far enough away from the music so you can use your own generator/power source.
