 Frequently Asked Questions for Vendor’s

Is space still available?

Outdoor locations tend to fill by the beginning of August. Inside booth space typically sells out a few weeks before the Fair begins. We still want you to have the opportunity to join us for the Fair, so we continue to accept applications even if we are sold out. Should someone cancel or back out of their space, we will select a replacement from the applications on our waiting list.

What can I do to increase my chances of being selected?

To ensure your application is reviewed, be sure to complete all of the necessary application steps. Having a unique product will greatly increase your chances of obtaining a booth. While we would love to hear all about your product, calling or dropping into the office will not improve your chances of being selected. We ask that you please send product pitches to [email protected] so we can further review your product.

Can I choose my own location?

You may request your booth location however, we will not know what areas are available until we have processed the requests from returning exhibitors and sponsors. Please place your requested location (or the general vicinity) on your online application. Our team will try to accommodate you as best as we can. We place all of our exhibitors in locations that we feel will be beneficial to both the exhibitor and Fairgoers.

What are the hours of the Arizona State Fair? How long do I need to have my exhibit open?

The Fair is open Wednesday – Sunday, Oct. 16 – Nov. 8, 2015. Your exhibit must be open and staffed during the Fair’s business hours. Hours for outside exhibitors and inside exhibitors vary. Please check your 2015 ASF Exhibitor Handbook for specific hours. Your Booth is required to be staffed for the full length of the Fair. Booths left unattended are subject to a citation.
