Phase 1 – Submit Your Application

• Application submissions are now closed. Thank you to all who applied.
• All applicants will be reviewed immediately for consideration and accepted at the sole discretion of the Concessions Committee.
• Confirmation of participation will be confirmed as soon as possible after receiving your application.
• The Fergus Scottish Festival will be presented in accordance with applicable local public health guidelines as of the date of the event which may change at any time as determined by federal, provincial or local government.  Such requirements may include, without limitation, changes to capacity, attendance procedures and entry requirements, such as proof of vaccination and other protective measures such as requiring attendees to wear face coverings.

Phase 2 – Vendor Registration (to be completed once application is approved)

Once an applicant receives confirmation by the Concessions Committee, it is up to the Concessionaire to ensure that all required information is completed. Specific Vendor rules and regulations will be communicated once applicant receives confirmation. Payment must be made online on or before June 1st. A link to pay will be provided in the acceptance letter. All Concessionaires must provide the following documents directly to the Festival:

• All concessionaires: Certificate of Insurance issued by your Insurance Broker which also names The Fergus Scottish Festival Inc. as an additional insured with minimum liability of $2,000,000
• Food concessionaires: Please consult the Special Event Vendor Handbook and complete the Special Event Vendor Application from Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health. This needs to be submitted the the Festival even if multiple events are listed on the form.
• Propane-fuelled concessionaires: Certificate of Inspection by a licensed gas fitter
• The Festival will forward required documents to our insurance company and Public Health on your behalf.

If payment is not received on or before June 1st along with required documentation, the Concessions Committee reserves the right to revoke your application and offer that site to another concessionaire. Lot assignment is at the discretion of the Concessions Committee. We face new safety and municipal regulations to which we must comply.
