Inside at Showboat Resort Atlantic City
801 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
Admission: 12-7pm (setup 10am-12pm)
Spots are available by invitation on a first come, first serve basis (completed registration form and online payment guarantees your space). There is no electricity or water available. All spots are 10’ wide x 10’ deep on carpet. Nothing comes with your spot but space. Anticipated attendance is 3000+ people.
FEES:
- Food: $150 (10’x10′) or $300 (10’x20′) + health & fire if required
- Retail: $150 (10’x10′) or $300 (10’x20′)
- Professional: $500 plus an on-theme gift basket worth $100 in value (will receive a 10’x10′ space, logo on sponsor board, and branded giveaway featured at entrance of event)
To be considered, all vendors must prominently incorporate a candy theme into their booth, even if they are a non-food vendor. Non-food vendors can meet this requirement by featuring candy-themed decor and offering a giveaway that ties into the spirit of the festival. No tie-in to the theme means no consideration of your application.

- One 10’x10′, 10’x20′, or 10’x30′ space
- A listing on the event website
