Mega Bite Events, known for its expertise in coordinating large-scale community events, is leading the charge in making this year’s extravaganza memorable. Howard Rosenblatt, the event contact person, is enthusiastic about the diverse lineup of vendors and activities planned for the day. Vendors are encouraged to apply early to secure their spots, as space and high demand are limited.
The event will kick off with vendor load-in starting at 8:00 a.m. and running until 10:00 a.m. Vendors are reminded to be punctual, as anyone arriving after 10:00 a.m. cannot load in and set up. This year, a 10×10 space will be provided for each vendor near the event’s entrance, with larger spaces available upon request.
For those looking to participate, the application process is straightforward. Interested vendors can fill out the application form (Click here) and email it to APPS@MEGABITEEVENTS.COM or mail it to 1075 Easton Avenue, Suite 11/282, Somerset, NJ 08873. The fee for non-food vendor spaces is $130.00, with an additional 4% fee for credit card payments. It’s important to note that fees must be paid in full upon acceptance, and half of the fee will be refunded if a vendor cancels at least 30 days before the event. Starting September 1st, the fee will increase to $150.00 if any spaces are still available.
Vendors at the Dover Cultural Extravaganza must abide by all policies and procedures outlined in the application contract. This includes keeping their vendor spaces clean and not leaving any garbage behind, as a $50.00 fee will be charged for any trash left in the area. Furthermore, vendors are encouraged to post and tag MegaBite Events on Facebook and Instagram to promote their participation.
One of the key attractions of the Dover Cultural Extravaganza is the diverse range of products and services vendors offer. While exclusive vendor product opportunities are unavailable, the event organizers strive to limit similar vendors to two per category, ensuring a variety of offerings for attendees. Vendors must also ensure their activities do not interfere with neighboring booths and that their displays are within the confines of their assigned spaces.
Safety is a top priority for the event. Vendors must provide weights for their tents, and any tent larger than 10×10 must have a permit from the local fire department. Additionally, the event is covered by JIF insurance, protecting community events, and vendors are expected to accept personal liability for their booths and activities.
As the Dover Cultural Extravaganza date approaches, the town is buzzing with anticipation. The event promises to unite people of all ages for a celebration, cultural exchange, and community bonding. With a lineup of local vendors, live entertainment, and activities for the whole family, the Dover Cultural Extravaganza is set to be a spectacular event showcasing what Dover has to offer.
