NON-PROFIT VENDORS
Non-Profit Booth Applicants
Please read the following information carefully before submitting your application.
About Our Festival
Moab Folk Festival takes place in beautiful downtown Moab, UT. Saturday and Sunday daytime shows are held outdoors at the Center Street Ballfields. We typically see crowds up to 1500 patrons each day, and are looking for about 5 non-profit organizations to round out our festival experience for those patrons.
The festival is open to patrons starting at 10am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, with music starting at 11am and continuing until about 4:30pm both days. Non-profit organizations are expected to have staff operating their booth during these times.
Application Deadlines
Nonprofit applications will be accepted until August 1, 2025, or until filled.
Booth placement will be decided by festival staff. If accepted, you will find out your booth assignment upon arrival on Friday, November 7.
Fees
We do not charge a fee for non-profit organizations to have a booth at our festival.
Selection Process
Nonprofits are encouraged to apply early, as we only have space for 5 organizations. However, earlier application submission in no way guarantees acceptance. Being chosen to participate in years past also does not guarantee acceptance this year.
Friends of the Moab Folk Festival and the Moab Folk Festival reserve the right to refuse space to anyone we deem inappropriate for the festival. Due to an increasing number of non-profit applicants, our selection process is based on which organizations we think will have good engagement with our festival-goers. We try to prioritize organizations local to Moab.
