Vendor Application

Vendor Application

Thank you for your interest in exhibiting at the Spokane County Interstate Fair! We are ALWAYS looking for exhibitors that have new and different products from those we currently present. Whether you're interested in showcasing your business or offering the latest and greatest food "on a stick", you must first apply! Below are the answers to a few common questions that may help you in your quest to become an Interstate Fair Vendor.

"What is the past attendance for the Interstate Fair?"

The Interstate Fair attracts over 200,000 guests through our gates annually. Just imagine the foot traffic that could be coming your way!

"When I'm at the Fair, it seems like there's no end to the commercial exhibit booths. How many exhibitors are there?"

There are approximately 200 exhibitors occupying over 300 commercial exhibit spaces. These include exhibitors in Bay 1, Bay 2, Bay 3, the Plaza, as well as those covering dozens of acres of outside space. And who can forget those ever popular food vendors.

"If I fill out an application to become an Exhibitor, am I automatically guaranteed a space for the upcoming Interstate Fair?"

No. At the Interstate Fair, previous exhibitors and concessionaires are given first opportunity to contract for the same space unless performance has been unsatisfactory. Because of the large number of requests for space and the large percentage of exhibitors and concessionaires who wish to return each year, we usually only have limited space available to new applicants or current exhibitors who wish additional space. Therefore, it is usually April or May before space vacancies can be determined for new applicants. Anyone who would like to become an Exhibitor or Food Vendor must go through the application process first. All Exhibitors and Vendors offered a contract are selected from a list compiled in the order the applications are received. A member of the Interstate Fair Staff will contact you if your application is selected.

"After I've printed off and completed the application, where do I send it?"

Completed applications may be returned to the Fair Office via one of the three methods. All applications will receive a date stamp upon arrival and be placed on our waiting list in the order they were received.
