Vendors Wanted For Derby Day

FILEThe City of Derby would like to invite you to participate in our 15th Annual Derby Day June 15.

With your help, we hope to continue the major event in the Naugatuck Valley. The festival will include live music, entertainment and many talented crafters from across the region.

There will be food, the Derby Duck Race down the river, the Derby Dash Road Race, along with many other games.

Information for interested vendors:

Spaces have to measure 10 by 12 feet. Vendors are responsible for tables, chairs, tents and all display materials. The majority of the spaces will be on the streets. Setup is from 6 to 9 a.m. Food vendors, as well as other specialty set-ups, must arrive before 7 a.m. If you arrive later, it will be at the discretion of the committee if you will still be allowed to set up.

Vehicles cannot remain on the grounds and must be moved to the city garage upon unloading. Space assignments will be assigned to you upon check-in on June 15. This is an open show and we will not limit most vendors. We will, however be limiting food and specialty vendors to one of each category. First come, first serve. Because of the crowds of people, no packing up is allowed before 5 p.m. closing. By doing so, you will not be invited back. Your booth and surrounding area are to be left in the clean condition they were upon your arrival.

There is no admission charged to any of the venues of the day. But vendor spaces cost $60 and food spaces cost $100, if postmarked by the early bird date of May 15. Payments that are received after May 15 will include a $10 charge.

You must supply us with a copy of your Connecticut Sales Tax Permit with your application. For any questions, their office can be reached at (860) 566‑8178. Food vendors must supply us with a certificate of insurance and health related permits required by the Valley Department of Health at (203) 881‑3255.

There is a $10 charge if you need electricity. If you’re located in a walking area all vendors are required to bring a 75-foot extension cord and rubber mat to cover up the cord.

All fees are nonrefundable.
