Yatra Festival - Market Vendors
Namaste and a warm welcome to you, oh master of craft or cuisine. We extend our gratitude for expressing interest in sharing your unique talents with us at Yatra Festival '24. At Yatra Festival '24, our aim is to cater to people from all walks of life. In terms of the market stalls, expect festival-goers who are free-spirited, colorful, creative, expressive, eccentric, hippie, and fun-loving. If any of these attributes or a combination thereof resonate with your ideal customer, we encourage you to complete the application below. Our doors are wide open to embrace the vast array of arts, crafts, fashion, and products that your creative spirits have conjured. Our heart beats for sustainability, so we're thrilled to welcome stalls that champion eco-friendly and mindful creations whenever possible. Guess what? The best part is, there's no fee to bring your stall to our vibrant festival grounds. We're passionately committed to making this a seamless and prosperous experience for the small businesses, artisans, and ingenious minds that grace our space. Our only request is that each stall holder and their magnificent crew secures a ticket to bask in the festival's magic. Regarding food stalls, our goal is to provide a diverse array of choices, ranging from fully plant-based options to delectable burgers and everything in the spectrum between them. Our main focus is on sustainability, and to uphold this principle, we have implemented a stringent waste management policy on-site, aiming for an eco-friendly and nature-conscious atmosphere. In alignment with our commitment to green practices, we require all single-use cutlery, plates, and cups to be compostable, going beyond mere biodegradability. Vendors are responsible for the collection of all waste generated during the sale of their products. This can be achieved by placing a waste bin near their stall or adopting the "rent a plate for $1" approach. At the conclusion of each day, vendors can bring their waste bags to the headquarters, where we will manage its proper disposal. We strongly encourage stalls to extend their operating hours when feasible. Furthermore, it is mandatory for all food stalls to possess the necessary certifications. Variety is the spice of our vendor lineup! To ensure everyone gets a fair slice of the action, please let us know precisely what delights your stall will bring. This way, each vendor can shine bright and make their festival experience truly rewarding. Before confirming your participation, we'll discuss a credit arrangement at your stall, redeemable via vouchers for crew and artists. This varies based on your offerings, tailor-made for each case. In this case, support with meal vouchers for crew and artists is essential; vendors have found this approach effective. Alternatively, if you prefer simplicity, negotiating a site fee is an option. When it comes to festival entry costs and helpers, stall owners and their team members need to purchase tickets (our streamlined approach). Our provisions encompass water and electricity. It's worth noting that stalls with higher power needs might contribute towards generator fuel, based on their usage. As the festival primarily revolves around music, it is important to anticipate continuous ambient sounds resonating throughout the festival grounds. We are both excited and humbled to receive your application and will be in touch with you soon to discuss further details.
