• All items must be appropriate for viewing by all ages as determined by the Festival Office.

• T-shirts can only be sold if they feature original, one-of-a-kind artwork.

• Vendors should come with enough cash (small bills/change) for the entire event as the Festival Office does not provide loose bills/change.

• Global Education Day: We recommend small items for sale that might appeal to children/youth/ teachers. 

• Participants should wear their issued Festival name tags at all times to identify themselves and their roles to visitors. Wristbands serve as admission passes for participants and will be issued with your main packet upon sign-in.

NO PARTIAL PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. If there are still spaces available after the registration deadline, vendors might be able to purchase a second booth for an additional one-time fee of $150.

• ONLY ONE VENDOR WILL BE ALLOWED PER COUNTRY. Vendor applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

• By law, each vendor must file a Special Event Sales Tax return (for more information, please contact the SC Department of Revenue/Taxation).
