Utah Pride Festival 2010

Q: My group/organization cannot afford to pay a Pride Festival booth fee/Pride Parade Entry fee. Can I receive financial aid from the Utah Pride Festival?

A: It is the policy of the Utah Pride Festival that no interested group or organization will be turned away because of financial hardship, on a space available basis. We have a limited number of discounted booths and spaces that will be available after May 1, as well as a limited number of discounted contingent parade slots will be available after May 15. If your organization cannot afford to pay the full rates, please write us a short note explaining at what price you could participate in Pride and why you feel your organization deserves a discounted rate. Festival scholarships are entirely left to committee discretion and festival need.

Q: What if I am a vendor requiring power for my booth?

A: All vendors who require power must note so on the application. All non-food vendors will be located in a "Hot Zone" along the 400 South Street of Washington Square to reserve energy usage during the Festival weekend.

Q: May I request a specific location for my booth?

A: Although we will try to honor requests, the Utah Pride Festival cannot guarantee placement in any particular area or location.

Q: I am a Non-Food Vendor, but I would like to distribute an edible sample of _____________ . Is that possible?

A: All edible samples must be distributed in sealed packages that do not require refrigeration (if samples require refrigeration, units must be available at your booth). If you wish to sell food, please see the Food Vendor Application on our website. For more information please call the Bureau of Food Protection at 801.313.6620.

Q: I want to distribute bottled water with our company logo. Is that possible?

A: The Utah Pride Festival reserves the right to sell and distribute bottled water.

Q: May I distribute _______ with the Utah Pride Festival logo on it?

A: The Utah Pride Center and the Utah Pride Festival reserve the right to use the Utah Pride Festival logo. No other parties, unless prescribed with written permission, may use the Utah Pride Festival logo for any other purposes.

What are the required materials for my application for Utah Pride Festival?

A: Required vendor materials for Utah Pride Festival depend on the type of booth or participation you will have with the Festival.

NON FOOD VENDOR: Completed application, Payment, Certificate of Liability Insurance ( download the Vendor/Exhibitor Liability Insurance Application)

FOOD VENDOR: Completed application, Payment, Food Handler’s Permits of ALL individuals working the booth on ALL days, SLVHD Temporary Food Service Permit, Certificate of Liability Insurance ( download the Vendor/Exhibitor Liability Insurance Application)

PARADE APPLICANTS: Completed application, Payment, Proof of Auto Liability Insurance (if applicable), Valid Driver’s License of all individuals operating Parade vehicles (if applicable)

Q: How do I get liability insurance if I do not have it?

A: In order to participate in the Utah Pride Festival in a booth space, Utah Pride must receive proof of business/organization insurance ($1,000,000 coverage) naming "Utah Pride Festival" and the "City of Salt Lake" as additionally insured. Most insurance companies will provide this to you free. If you cannot or do not provide this, Utah Pride will refer you to our low-cost, day-of policy insurance carrier, Casswood Insurance Agency ( download the Vendor/Exhibitor Liability Insurance Application). If you are using Casswood Insurance Agency, you must send the application and payment for liability insurance to Casswood Insurance Agency, not the Utah Pride Center. The Utah Pride Center cannot send Casswood Insurance applications and payments to the Casswood Insurance Agency for vendors. The Utah Pride Center will mail back all insurance applications and payments to vendors who send. When you receive a Certificate of Liability Insurance, send a copy to:

Pride Vendors
Utah Pride Center
355 North 300 West
Salt Lake City, UT 84103

Or fax them to the Utah Pride Center at 801-521-5212.

Thank you for participating with THE Utah Pride FESTIVAL. We’ll see you at the Festival!
