MUSIC ON MAIN VENDOR PROGRAM
Music on Main returns to Victor City Park for its 9th season of music, community, and FOOD!
Our kick-off show will be Thursday, June 26th and our closing concert August 14th – a total of 7
shows with no show on July 3rd. Last year, Music on Main experienced tremendous growth,
averaging 3,500 attendees per show with a high attendance of 4,000.
We are looking at 10 vendors again this year with the breakdown below.
FEE STRUCTURE / VENDORS PER SHOW
 Food Vendors - $125 per show – 7 total food vendors per show
 Dessert Vendors - $100 per show – 3 total dessert vendors per show
Music on Main will try to give everyone an opportunity to participate. Due to the reduced
number of slots, vendors may not be offered a space on all the nights they request. We will give
preference to the following:
 Music on Main Sponsors
 Vendors who have supported the Teton Valley Foundation and its programs (Music on
Main, Kotler Ice Arena, etc.) via cash and in-kind donations
 Established local, “brick and mortar” operations
 Vendors with a strong track record of performance, dependability, and quality
(Conversely, a vendor’s poor past performance will be taken into account)
*Vendors are encouraged to limit the number of offerings on proposed menus. Music on Main is
a madhouse when the crowd is at its peak size on Thursday nights. The more focused your food
offerings are, the more you can streamline your production, serve more people, and limit the
amount of time people spend looking at your menu when you are ready to take their order.
*Music on Main will make every reasonable effort to include as many vendors as possible in the
series in an equitable distribution of the dates of the series.
*Vendors will be paired as needed to provide a diverse offering of foods.
*Music on Main retains the right to deny vendor applications based on the criteria described
above, based on availability, and based on any other relevant considerations.
*If you would like your restaurant to be listed in the Music on Main Playbill Dining Guide,
contact Aska Langman at the Valley Citizen at [email protected]. It is only $115 for the
entire season. This is a resource that tourists and residents have access to all over the region.
Please read the Vendor Rules and Regulations for details on applying to be a vendor.
Thank you for your support of Music on Main!

MUSIC ON MAIN VENDOR RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. Vendors are required to arrive between 4:00 and 5:00 pm for set up.
2. Weekly Vendor spaces will be pre-assigned. Vendors will receive the full schedule, vendor
space maps, and location assignments at least one week before the first show. Vendors are
responsible for knowing where they are setting up prior to arrival.
3. Victor City Park Vendor Areas
We are currently evaluating the best layout for us to place vendors. We will be sure to
let you know the final plan for 2014 prior to the first concert. We are evaluating
whether or not we will place vendors on the east, west and north sides of the park, or if
we will shift the plan to only use two sides of the park. In the meantime, below is a
description of set up for all three locations.
a. East Side of the Park
i. Vendor spaces will be lined up along the Eastern Fence of the Park
ii. Vendors can pull their vehicles into the parking lot behind the Library to
unload, then must promptly remove their vehicles from that area.
iii. If you need to drop off additional food supplies during the show, you can use
this same access, but you must coordinate with Security personnel in advance
so they are aware of your plans. DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO HAVE
ENOUGH SUPPLIES WITHOUT RESTOCKING (the back parking lot
becomes quite crowded and it is dangerous to use vehicles in the area during the
show.)
iv. Vendor spaces have access to power. Vendor spaces do not have water.
v. NO VEHICLES OR TRAILERS MAY DRIVE OR SET UP ON THE GRASS
IN THIS AREA OF THE PARK.
b. West Side of Park & Kids Area
i. Vendor Sites will be lined up along the Kids Area fence and along the Western
Fence on the Main St. side of the Park
ii. Vendors can pull their vehicles into the parking lot behind the Library to
unload, then must promptly remove their vehicles from that area.
iii. If you need to drop off additional food supplies during the show, you can use
this same access, but you must coordinate with Security personnel in advance
so they are aware of your plans. DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO HAVE
ENOUGH SUPPLIES WITHOUT RESTOCKING (the back parking lot
becomes quite crowded and it is dangerous to use vehicles in the area during the
show.)
iv. Some vendor spaces in this area have access to power, some do not. Please
make your power needs known in your application. Vendor spaces do not have
water.
v. NO VEHICLES OR TRAILERS MAY DRIVE OR SET UP ON THE GRASS
OR SIDEWALK IN THIS AREA OF THE PARK.
c. North Side of Park – Birch Street Parking Lane – Trailer Vendors Area
i. This is the only area where Vendors with Trailer operations are allowed.
ii. Trailers may not occupy more than 25 lineal feet (including tongue and hitch)
of sidewalk frontage on the serving side of their trailer that faces the Park.
iii. Vendors will be directed into place by on-site staff beginning promptly at 4:00
PM. Vendors will be asked to arrive in a specific order, with 5 minute
increments, to facilitate proper placement of trailers.
iv. Towing vehicles will need to be detached and parked next to trailers. Other
vehicles will need to park elsewhere.
v. All trailers and towing vehicles will be fenced into the park, so there will be no
access in or out of this vendor area.
vi. This area also houses all sound/stage/production activity and heavy pedestrian
foot traffic from parking areas, so it is imperative that vendors arrive on time so
Music on Main can properly secure this side of the park.

OR SIDEWALK IN THIS AREA OF THE PARK.

7. Vendors must provide at least one 50ft extension cord and a splitter for their own power
needs. Power will be provided to a location within 50 feet of all vendor spaces, but not
directly to every site.
8. Vendors who miss a show, without at least seven (7) days notice, will lose all remaining dates
in the current season without a refund of fees, and will not be considered in the future, no
exceptions.
9. Vendors may be required to sell specific beverage products due to major sponsorship.

silverware for all food and beverages served to patrons. This helps reduce waste and
encourages recycling.

on Main and the Teton Valley Foundation under a State issued permit.

current license to vend. For more information, please visit the Eastern Idaho Public Health

is often quite dark by the time the concerts end, but it is each vendor’s responsibility to
ensure that the area around their site is in the same condition as when they found it.

compliant vendor.
