Castlegar Garden & Nature Fest

Registration & Information for Vendors

Welcome to the 2nd annual Castlegar Garden & Nature Fest. The Castlegar Garden Club and Castlegar Communities in Bloom jointly sponsor this event. The focus will be on growing plants and gardens (wild and cultivated), and the natural environment and its inhabitants: insects, mammals, birds etc. Vendors selling plants and garden items will be participating, as well as local non profit/educational groups that promote gardening and wild life. We hope this mix of energies will be beneficial to all, especially our environment!

The costs for vendor booths are listed below. It is expected that there will be one vendor per space. However, if a vendor would like to share their space with another group, then please list both vendors on this form. The spaces accommodate tents/canopies that are 10’ X 10’. If your canopy is larger than this, please rent adequate space(s) for it, otherwise organizers might not be able to accommodate a larger tent on the day of the fest.

All spaces are designated on a first come, first served basis. All booths must meet the requirements established by the CGNF committee. That is: all vendors must sell items directly related to gardening (wild and cultivated), the natural environment and its wildlife, farming and growing; and all displays are expected to relate to same. Artistic endeavours meeting the previous criteria are welcomed. If your business includes a wider variety of items, please bring only those items that embrace the spirit of the festival as outlined here.

The CGNF reserves the right to decline a registration. No imports are allowed. No application will be processed without full payment.

In order to help make this event attractive to the public, participants are greatly encouraged to decorate their space highlighting the festival theme of Gardening and Nature.

All vendors must supply their own canopies, tables, chairs etc. There are none available at this site. The festival is located at the Twin Rivers Park in Castlegar (110 5th Street), at the start of the Millennium walkway, overlooking the river. Vendors will be setting up on a paved site.

Electricity is not available. Potable (City) water is available in the bathrooms, from a drinking fountain, and from (drink-safe) hoses that will be set up by the organizers.

Please read the attached ‘Guidelines for Participants’ for the CGN Fest for more details. Any other questions or concerns, please contact Heather McSwan (castlegargardenfest@shaw.ca) 250-399-4439.

We look forward to seeing you there and hope you have a profitable, positive experience!
Thank you for your time and participation in this event,
The CGNF Committee.
