Booths are 20’ X 8’ and cost $20 for the day. Electricity for booths is an additional $15. Applications must be submitted to the City of Houston by April 3 with a check or money order (no cash payments will be accepted).
Tables, chairs and extension cords are not provided. Organizers are only accepting one commercial or direct sales vendor for the event.

“We are also looking for organizations and school clubs to be involved with booths such as dunking booths, games for kids, face painting and even bouncy houses,” said Mark Campbell, City of Houston administrator. “This will be a great day for our community to enjoy.”
