Event Vendor Information
PURPOSE OF BECOMING AN EVENT VENDOR
Kissimmee’s Event Vendor program is supported by the Kissimmee Main Street Program. It is operated by the Kissimmee Main Street program, a nationally accredited Main Street® program whose mission is to preserve and enhance Downtown Kissimmee for present and future generations. Our Event Vendor program was created to enhance our community’s connection with local services, products, entrepreneurs, and more! It also provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs to display their products or services to our local residents and visitors. Please read through our policies below before applying to see if we are a good fit for your business. Please keep in mind not all of our events accept all kinds of businesses. The event vendor products depend on which is acceptable per event. Please keep in mind all events occur throughout the year.
LEARN MORE ABOUT BECOMING A EVENT VENDOR!
In order for the Historic Downtown to thrive, vendor participation is a necessity. Please read the entire Event Vendor Page and make sure your product meets the criteria and that you can meet the rules of the event. If you have not visited any of our events before, we strongly encourage you to do so. The Kissimmee Main Street events occur in specific seasons and time frames within the year. Please keep this in mind when inquiring to become a vendor.
The price for each vendor space is determined differently in accordance with each event and other factors. Please contact us for more information.

Thank you to our partners who help make all of our events possible
How do I register? Contact our small business liaison Angela Mikolajek to inquire about an application. Vendor application fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. You are not fully registered for our event until you agree to our Terms & Conditions and make payment in FULL. After your payment is received in full, your booth space is reserved. Vendor space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please keep in mind it is possible that you do not get accepted into our event because we are full or your items do not meet the parameters of our events.

What does Kissimmee Mainstreet provide? For outside events, your reservation is for a 10 x 10 space only. You are responsible for your tent, table, chairs, table weights, and anything else that you will need on the event day. For most inside events, we do provide a table and 2 chairs.
What if I can't make it? Any vendor participating in a KMS event must arrive on time for vendor load-in. Unfortunately, anyone arriving late will be denied access and no refunds will be issued.
What if it rains? All of our events are rain or shine. Whether or not to cancel or reschedule an event is solely up to the management of the venue. In the case of a major weather situation, everyone's safety is the priority.
What can I do to help promote the event? We will be happy to send you flyers to pass out, hang up or post online. Please click "going" on the Facebook event page, and share our posts. You may also make product posts on the page and tag Kissimmee Main Street and the event in posts that you would like us to share. With everyone working together, we can ensure a great event.
