Type and Number of Vendors
There is a limit to the number of food vendors, but send in this contract anyway. We will confirm all
food vendors by June 1 at the latest.
There is no limit to the number of merchandise or service vendors- We may however deny your
booth if you plan to sell products or services that are immoral, dangerous or not consistent with the
festival’s values, in which case you will be contacted and your money will be refunded.
Arrival and Booth Placement
Vendors MUST ARRIVE between 12noon-7pm on Wednesday July 22. Katalyst staff will be on-site to
point you where to set up. All vendors are to set up at the bottom end of Camping 2 field near the Main
Stage.
Spaces are given on a first-come, first-served basis, however certain spaces have been reserved close to
the Temple Stage for various reasons.
Maintain a 7 meter two-way roadway.
Vendors may park and camp behind their shops. The maximum size each vendor may occupy is 20’x40’
including vehicles, tents and camping. Each vendor is allocated a maximum frontage of 20’ facing the
pedestrian traffic and must allow for other vendors to occupy space directly next to their space (vehicles,
RVs and camping tents must not encroach upon prime shop-frontage space)
Katalyst reserves the right to designate or move the location of the vendor booths at any time.
Electricity
Merchandise & services vendors will be provided with one 120volt circuit regular “household-style” 3prong outlet for lighting only.
Page | 2
Food vendors will be provided with the style of plug-ins such as range-plugs they require so long as they
explain their needs on this agreement.
A few electrical distribution panels will be spaced throughout the vending areas. Vendors are responsible
for their own electrical extension cords and power bars. Up to 300 feet of quality extension cord may be
required to run from the distribution panel to your booth (thicker is better- at least 12 gauge for 100’ or
less, or 10 gauge for over 100’ lengths. The smaller the gauge number, the thicker the cord, and the more
capable it is to carry the electricity. If you have a combination of sizes, always plug the thickest size
(lowest gauge) into the distribution box and go smaller from there. Power will be available 24hrs/day
starting at around 2pm on Wednesday to the end of the festival but there may be occasional poweroutages. If the power goes out, try to re-set the breaker to your outlet on the distribution panel and make
sure that none of your connections are in a puddle of water. If the breaker keeps tripping, you may have
too many things plugged in or one of your electrical appliances/lights may have a short circuit (you need
to unplug it). Do not touch the generator! If the generator has stopped working, contact the soundsystem people (PK Sound) at the Temple Stage sound control tent.
Garbage
Vendors are to supply their own bins and garbage bags and keep full bags neatly to the side of their shop
for our hired garbage crew to pick up and haul away. They come around twice per day.
Food Vendors: Vouchers
Food/drink vouchers will be provided to certain production crews and artists by the festival as part of the
festival’s contract with them. Food and drink vendors will be expected to accept these food/drink vouchers
at a face value of $1 each. They cannot be exchanged for cash and no change should be given on
payment by vouchers. Vouchers should be retained by food and drink vendors. The festival will pay food
or drink vendors $0.50 for each voucher submitted to the office by mail within 30 days after the festival. A
company cheque will be mailed out or email money transfer.
Food vendors: Water supply and grey-water disposal
There will be a male household-style garden-hose connection to have access to potable water for your
kitchen. We plan to have a water pump, however the water pressure may be very low so be prepared to
operate using buckets. Please conserve water. It costs a lot to haul water in from Golden. If using a hose
to run to your kitchen, it must be ‘food-grade’ (a garden hose is not ‘food grade’). Grey-water should be
disposed of in the grey water tank located behind the food vendors. Food vendors must have a permit to
operate in BC and send their permit to us along with this agreement. If the water tank is running low or
the grey-water tank is full, please contact Kootenay Pumping. It is the same company that will be working
on the Posh-Potties and porta-potties.
Rules etc:
Vendors may not sell ice, energy drinks, alcohol, illicit or prescription drugs, weapons, or fireworks.
No amplified music is allowed unless you have been accepted as an Indie Stage.
Generator use is not permitted, unless the main generator has stopped.
Vendors must supply, set up, and remove their own shelters, tables, displays, decoration, and goods.
Be sure to stake & tie-down your shelter securely, cover any sharp protruding objects with plastic/foam
and duct-tape, or plastic bottles, and mark tripping hazards with florescent tape & paint. Cover any
exposed rebar with plastic bottles, or split tennis balls.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you clean up your site completely and remove ALL stakes, rebar, and rope
as these can cause serious injury to people, horses, and equipment for many years in the future if left in
place. Any vendor who leaves a mess, causes damage beyond normal wear-and-tear, or creates a
hazard will be held liable for their negligence.
Excessive garbage cleanup for a vendor booth such as lumber, furniture, display cases, carpet, tentframes, etc will result in extra charges - $200 and up.
Vendor will be fined $1000 if it is found that they left rebar or stakes in the ground after the event or didn’t
mark exposed stakes or tripping hazards during the event. Vendor may also be found liable for any claims
against the festival arising from vendor negligence.
Katalyst reserves the right to adjust the intensity of light emitted from vendor stands if the light takes away
from the décor or overall feel of the event.
Vendors are to be licensed or permitted, if applicable, and operate in accordance with all government
regulations as required in British Columbia.
Cancellation
Katalyst reserves the right to cancel this agreement at any time.
