IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Food stalls are charged a non-refundable deposit by negotiation AND 20% of total turnover, MINUS deposit one week after the festival (Direct deposit or cheque to post box). Food stalls need to attach a mobile trading health certificate (attach to email) or fill out council requirements. (Example: $250 - deposit, $3000 turnover = $600 - (20%) rent - $250 deposit = $350.- to pay a week later). Limited power sites are available. State the plug you need and how many amps you use. We then review your application. To fulfil Council / MPI health regulations, you need to:
Hold a food act 2014 registration or a conformation of application or contact Auckland council and MPI for an exemption of registration due to a one day trading activity or a charitable activity less than 20 days for an annual year.
Once accepted, we send a STALL HOLDER PERMIT with a stall number included. Please stick to selling goods listed on the form. No on-selling/sharing of space allowed without written permission from the Stall Organiser. You are in, when you have paid as advised and received a permit.
RECEIPTS: Your original stall permit is also your receipt.
FEELING REJECTED? We are sorry for disappointing those who do not get a stall this year. Please remember we are a small organisation. There are no rights of participation. We will do our best to help provide sites for as many as we can whilst maintaining a good balance between commercial and community interests.

-We have 35 years history in organising this Festival.
-We limit the stalls of too many similar items sold. (NOT having 10 soap stalls)
-We'll reserve you a specific spot if possible.
-We'll invite you via existing data you've provided.
-We try to help by not putting another stall with similar products near to you.
-We try to exclude importers, and favour NZ made goods.
-Weather permitted, foodstalls will have a long queue for most of the day.
-We try to do better, if our festival is not the best one in your calendar. But please be patient. We cannot answer every enquiry immediately. If you are a regular stallholder, you are generally accepted. Don't worry. We cannot see how a rain date is possible. It could rain two weeks in a row. It is not easy to see how we would meet the costs and logistics of booking entertainers, services, stallholders from out of town and the helpers for two separate dates. Our policy has been to maintain a low rent for many years and take our chances with the weather.
Please ALWAYS use the same email for inquiries. We work/ search via email and second name! Gate is open from 06.30 until 09.00.
ON THE DAY IT HELPS IF YOU: Come at the allocated time. Show your invitation at the gate. Once in the park show your map to the helpers or orientate yourself following the ABCDE signs. We stagger the arrival time, your neighbour comes one hour later to give you more space to unpack. Please park close to your stall and keep the middle of the path free! Then proceed to the carpark as shown. If there are any suggestions or requests, please don't hesitate to send them to us. Any reasonable wishes we try to accommodate. But please realise that this is one of the biggest festivals in the country, run by the smallest organising team. Try to keep communications short, with your name/ email as a reference. Application forms will be send out around JUNE.
A hint to the arrival time: If there isn't one on your form, you come as you please within the given time frame.
Please don't phone the Council about this festival. They have nothing to do with the stall organisation.
First-timers please read the instructions for arrival. If everyone knows what to do, there will be no queue at the entrance.
Questions will be answered by the man in the red overalls. And remember: Please don't extend your stall beyond the 1 foot rule.
Happy trading.
