Vendor Benefit Details:
This is the only event of its kind in our area. Sure there are fun wine walks, beer tastings and other events in surrounding cities, but no other events dedicated to hard cider and sausage!

• You will have perfect access to hundreds of cider and sausage lovers from the South King County area and even beyond (some folks travel a few hours to get to this event!).
• Vendors are included in all marketing materials for the event that are produced and distributed after committing to the festival.
• All vendors will receive two general admission tickets ($70 value) to Sausage and Cider Fest to be used to promote the festival and their presence at the festival. These should be used as a prize or drawing for patrons, newsletter subscribers, etc. or some other creative way to help promote the event.
• Vendors will have the opportunity to sell their products at the festival. Alcohol-related products will be sold for off-premise consumption by festival staff (per the liquor control board). Other products may be sold by the vendor at their booth.
• You will be helping raise funds for some great service projects and charities provided by and supported by the Covington Kiwanis Club including The Eliminate Project, Children’s Cancer Program, Covington Youth Athletics Programs, Community Events, the Kentlake Key Club, the Bringing Grades Up Program, the Bike Program and local area food banks.

Beverage Vendors – FREE TO PARTICIPATE:
We are accepting applications from cideries, breweries, wineries and non-alcoholic beverage companies. The festival focus is on sausage and cider, so cidermakers will be given priority for booth space. We will also feature some beer and wines for non-cider drinkers and non-alcoholic beverages for designated drivers. There are no fees for beverage vendors and alcohol beverage vendors will be reimbursed at the wholesale cost for product poured during the event. Vendors may also choose to have us sell their products for off-premise consumption and will be compensated for the sold product at the wholesale cost. (*Vendors should bring their own booth supplies including a canopy/tent with weighted legs, table, and other display items).

Food Vendors – FREE TO PARTICIPATE WITH A REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT TO SECURE SPACE AND PREVENT THE FESTIVAL FROM NO SHOWS:
Do you have a food business that would like to be present at Sausage & Cider Fest? We are on the hunt for amazing food trucks/trailers that can bring some variety and delicious options to the festival. To fit with our theme, food vendors must offer one item that is sausage related (i.e. a pizza with sausage topping, a sausage dog, a chorizo taco, you get the idea!).

Sponsor Booth Space:
We allow sponsors to have booth space at the festival, so if you think you are a good fit, check out our sponsor page and/or contact us to discuss participation and sponsorship fees.
