Our vendor fees are thoughtfully structured to reflect the true cost and scale of producing this event. The Venice Fest is not simply a traditional market—it’s a fully immersive experience that brings together live music, art installations, curated food and beverage, wellness activations, and multiple layered programming elements. Each component requires significant planning, production, staffing, and infrastructure to execute at a high level.

As the event continues to grow, expand, and elevate in quality, the vendor fees naturally scale alongside that growth. This ensures we can maintain and enhance the overall experience, drive strong attendance, and create meaningful value and exposure for every participating brand.

Please Note:

• We reserve the right to cancel and refund your booth if it does not comply with applicable laws and regulations. Our team carefully reviews each application to ensure it aligns with the festival’s vision. Should we find your booth unsuitable, we will issue a prompt refund of your deposit.

• Cancellation Policy: All vendor fees are non-refundable and non-negotiable once confirmed. Vendor fee's will be refunded if the event is cancelled due to a natural disaster.
