MERCHANT VENDOR RULES & REGULATIONS

Electric Love Music Festival (ELF) boasts an extensive schedule of entertainment and activities, in addition to this agenda, ELF will feature a diverse marketplace with a variety of goods and services for our patrons. We are committed to selecting quality food, craft and merchandise vendors. To ensure that the highest standards are maintained and that the event is successful for all vendors, there is no unauthorized vending allowed anywhere on site other than in the approved marketplace. For health and quality reasons, unauthorized food vendors may pose a risk to festival goers, unauthorized food vendors who are not permitted will be shut down to alleviate that risk. Electric Love is committed to ensuring a successful event for all authorized vendors.

Once final selections for vendors have been made, you will receive an information package that will include a site map as well as other important information such as facilities and vending camping areas. An important questionnaire will also be included regarding any special requests, sizing or requirements for your stall. 

VENDOR CONTRIBUTION TO FESTIVAL SUSTAINABILITY

ELF has a very strict Leave No Trace Policy, the practice of leaving the land in the condition it was found. We are very committed to reducing the amount of trash that is sent to the landfill and have an extensive recycling and composting program. All vendors will be required to purchase compostable or recyclable paper products.

We ask that all merchants supply paper, recyclable, or compostable bags only or to not offer bags. If you are selling something that is packaged in plastic, remind patrons of our recycling facilities on site. We are currently looking at a no-cost solution to vendors for reusable bags for a nominal fee to festival goers.  

Please make sure to orientate yourself with all recycling locations, waste cans, green waste and cigarette disposal to help keep the site clean. Please note that vendors are required to pack their own waste in and out. 

All vendors are responsible for paying any applicable provincial and federal sales tax.
