Thank you for completing a request for a Vendor Booth at our 2025 Pride Festival on June 6, 2026. Please keep in mind the following information:

PROFIT vs. NON-PROFIT is determined by your business classification, not by whether or not you are selling items at the Festival. A non-profit number IS REQUIRED for anyone who requests the reservation of a "Non-Profit" booth.

FOOD VENDORS must submit a list of proposed menu items. It is your responsibility to obtain all permits required to sell food items at the Festival and to produce said permits upon request. Please contact the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department at (304)344-5343.

Rainbow Pride of West Virginia reserves the right to determine which vendors and informational exhibitors may or may not be appropriate for the Pride Festival Block Party. Vendors agree to display ONLY items that are not vulgar, offensive, obscene or inappropriate for a "family-friendly", all-ages event. Vendors must abide by City Code: Ordinance No. 6006, SS 6-49-9, 2-21-1995, Section A (8).

Registration forms may be submitted electronically or by US Mail (see below). Booth location will be assigned by Rainbow Pride of WV. Vendors may not share or sublet space without prior approval. Any vendor registered prior to April 30th will receive first consideration for booth assignment. Vendors must provide their own insurance and are responsible for the conduct of all individuals working their booth; for materials, merchandise and equipment used at their site; and for damage to their site or other property.
