Welcome Vendors to the 2026 Florida State Fair!
We’re excited that you’re interested in being part of the Florida State Fair, America’s Sunniest Celebration!
In 2026, the Fair will shine brighter than ever as we join the nationwide celebration of our country’s 250th anniversary. We’ll be going all out with patriotic programming, special entertainment, and unforgettable guest experiences and our vendors are at the heart of it all.
Before You Apply: To help you prepare, we encourage all potential vendors to first review the Vendor Application Guide. This guide provides important details about pricing, space options, and requirements. Once accepted, vendors are also required to follow the Vendor Manual, which outlines all processes and procedures for participation. The Vendor Manual becomes part of your contract and should be reviewed carefully.
What We Look For: The application process is highly competitive, and not all applicants can be accepted. When reviewing applications, we consider:
-
Product uniqueness – distinctive offerings help you stand out.
-
Display and presentation – a professional, creative, and inviting booth is one of the most important factors for acceptance.
-
Guest experience – we’re looking for vendors who add to the festive atmosphere, deliver excellent customer service, and bring energy to the celebration.
Important Information: No application deadline – however, once a product category is full, no additional vendors will be accepted. Early application is strongly encouraged.
-
Returning vendors – prior participation does not guarantee acceptance, though returning vendors in good standing often receive priority placement.
-
Contracts – all accepted vendors will receive a contract and must adhere to the rules and regulations outlined in the Vendor Manual.
