Vendors

The 2026 Blue Ox Music Festival will be held on June 25-27.

*Blue Ox has a limited number of new vendor openings each year.

2026 Food Vendors: 

Deadline: The food vendor application for Blue Ox 2026 will close on Friday February 27th. If you have not heard back from us by March 28th then we unfortunately did not have space to invite you onboard to be a vendor this year.

Timeline: We will start reaching out to last year’s food vendors that we would like to invite back to Blue Ox first before reaching out to new vendors. Vending at a past Blue Ox does not automatically guarantee you are spot in the upcoming festival. New vendors that we would like to invite to Blue Ox will be contacted starting in March – based on available spots. We try to bring in as many different types of vendors as possible due to the very limited amount of space we have in our vendor court area.  If you have not heard back from us by March 28th then we unfortunately did not have space to invite you onboard to be a vendor this year.

Food Vendor Pricing: Each food vendor will receive an area of 20′ x 20′ for $350. If you need more space than what is allotted, please let us know so that we can make additional arrangements.

**30% of your proceeds will also be collected at the end of each night of the festival**

Payment: If accepted, full payment MUST be received no later than April 30th, 2026. If payment is not received in full by this date, then your spot will be forfeited and we will replace you with a different vendor. *Payment is not due until you are confirmed a vendor. Please do NOT send us a check unless if you are confirmed a vendor.

*Questions and Inquires about Food Vending should be directed to King Pin Management contact, David Burg: [email protected] 

*NO PETS allowed in the event grounds and/or campground. Details on pricing and all rules and regulations can be found in the links below this form.
