2021 BUSINESS PARTICIPATION
Saturday, May 15, 2021
Thank you for your interest in being a vendor at the Taste of Maplewood Street Festival! The Taste of Maplewood is a culmination of Maplewood and Richmond Heights most renowned restaurants, beloved boutiques, and unique specialty stores.
Since the event’s inception, we have been committed to preserving the integrity of the event and the spirit of the Chamber, by limiting vendor opportunities to local businesses in Maplewood and Richmond Heights. While we appreciate the interest and inquiries of businesses outside our boundaries who wish to participate, we are dedicated to serving and promoting our local businesses and Chamber Members through this event platform
Vendor Tips
Vendors who bring their own tent can save 15% off fees with promo code MYOWN. The discount is only applicable to registration fees-not add on items. Vendors are required to secure tents with cement blocks or appropriately weighted vessel.
Electricity and Table are available to vendors for an additional fee.
Vendors selling food and alcohol must obtain appropriate permits.
The event is held rain or shine unless weather becomes severe. We have experienced rain and pop up storms in prior years, but we have never cancelled the event.
