If I’m interested in becoming a vendor (artisan, maker, food truck, etc.) for this year’s Tennessee Soybean Festival, do I have to apply online?

Yes. Anyone interested in becoming a vendor for this year’s Soybean Festival must submit an application online in order to be considered. Currently, we are not accepting any applications delivered by mail, email or in-person.

If you are selected as a vendor, you will receive a link to pay your fee. No refunds will be distributed.

What are the Booth Guidelines? 

 Booths are filled “first come, first served” as payment is received. Committee approval must be received prior to payment. Payment for the booth space will be sent by electronic invoice and will be due by July 1st. Fees paid after July 1 will incur additional fees.
