More to Note:
- Vehicles: The Bonnaroo Market is an artistically-designed flowing area in Centeroo featuring many fine artists. In order to preserve the condition of the walking paths, vehicles will not be permitted to drive on any of the grass. When you arrive, you will be directed to the closest road access. There will be trailers available to help you transport your wares, but you should come prepared with a hand truck or wagon with wide rubber tires. Camping is not permitted at your booth. After initial set up in Centeroo and the Main Venue, all vehicles must be moved to Vendor Camping. For those who need to restock each day, arrangements can be made with one of the Market Coordinators. No vehicles (including golf carts) will be allowed in Centeroo unless you have received prior written permission from Bonnaroo. In the campground, each booth will be able to have one vehicle parked directly behind their booth.
- Vendor Camping: There is an area designated for vendor camping. If you or your staff has special needs, please note that in the application form.
- Paperwork: Each vendor will be required to have a certificate of liability insurance, proof of Workers Compensation coverage, a Tennessee sales tax certificate, and Local Business License and Land Use Permit. Those vendors accepted to the festival will receive an outline of the necessary paperwork with your acceptance letter. Participation in Bonnaroo 2022 does not guarantee a space in Bonnaroo 2023.
