MINNESOTA SALSA FEST

Early birds get the worms AND guaranteed space at last year's rates! We are accepting early bird registrations for up to 40 Farm Market and Artisan vendors at the festival. Vendor spaces are just $25 per space ($10 if you are a current SFA member). We had over 1000 people attend the festival last year and are planning for more this year.

If you would like to be one of our featured Farm Market or Prepared Food Vendors, please complete your applications/registrations as follows:

1. Complete the online registration as completely as possible.
2. Complete this fillable MN-ST19 form
3. Fill in the Vendor Fine Print/Agreements form.
4. Email your completed ST19 and Fine print forms to central@sfa-mn.org.

A Salsa Fest representative will respond to you by email or phone when we have received your application/payment to confirm your spot at Salsa Fest and clarify any questions you may have.

Special note: If you are applying to be a Farm Market or Prepared Food Vendor as well as Salsa Contestant, complete the online registration, ST19 form and Fine Prints page ONCE only. These forms cover both vendor and contestant.

Special note: We love our trees and are trying to save them. Digital responses bring us great joy. We recommend downloading the agreements page to your phone, tablet or computer and using your photo editor to write in your initials, etc. or printing and completing the agreements page, take a photo and email that photo back with your ST19 form. If you have a favorite PDF filler option, that's great, too!

We don't want the digital form to deter anyone. If you prefer to complete a paper application, please use the forms below:

SFA is grateful for the generous support of our sponsors for our events and our organization. With your generosity, we are better able to connect to our communities, our producers, our consumers and our neighbors. Of course we benefit from financial support, but we also need connections, in-roads, insight and sometimes even goods or services. (Anyone have a sound system we could use, for example?)
