All tents are required to have weights attached. All waste must be disposed of properly. A vendor will be removed from the festival if he or she doesn’t follow the proper protocol for waste disposal.
No vehicles are permitted in the market area during the duration of the event.
Vendor Selection
Vendor acceptance is determined by the Latrobe Italian Festival director and staff and is decided based on the following:
Vendor Waitlist
Vendors not accepted will be placed on our waitlist. If a space opens at the festival, we will email vendors from our waitlist.
Vendor Acceptance Notification
All accepted vendors will receive an email by February 10th. The email will contain a Vendor Terms and Conditions packet that must be signed and returned to us by February 17th. Failure to return the packet will forfeit the vendor spot.
Once we receive a vendor’s confirmation, vendors will be sent a Vendor Fee Invoice.
Vendor Fees
All vendor fees for the 2023 season will be due no later than April 1st, 2023. All vendors will receive a Vendor Fee Invoice that can be paid via credit/debit card or by mailing a check.
Vendors who pay after the due date will be charged a $30 late fee. Any vendors who have not paid their vendor invoices by May 1st will be replaced with a waitlist vendor. No refunds will be issued.
Market Cancellations
The Latrobe Italian Festival is rain or shine. We do not refund for cancellations under any circumstances. Vendors cannot transfer funds to another year.
