Application Process
All applications will be reviewed by the Lexington Pride Festival Planning Committee for approval. We'll be looking at applications to ensure there are no conflicts with our mission and values, and that merchandise and swag are allowable, appropriate for the event, and not overpriced. We will also be working to ensure that the festival includes a diversity of vendors, products, information, services, and experiences.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a spot. You must receive confirmation from the Committee and pay all vendor fees before your booth will be reserved. We'll be reviewing applications and sending out notifications on a rolling basis. If your application is approved, you will receive instructions and the deadline for paying your vendor fees in your notification.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We encourage you to apply early! We expect spots to fill quickly and cannot guarantee we will have enough available spots. Vendor applications will close on April 30, 2026.
Fees listed above cover one 10’ x 10’ festival booth space. Please note vendors for 2026 will only be given a space in the festival grounds. The Lexington Pride Center will not be providing tents, tables, chairs, or electricity. Vendors are responsible for providing their own.
Note: If you are LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and/or disabled artisan or small business owner or a nonprofit and the vendor costs as listed are prohibitive for you, you can request an application to be considered for a lower cost Community Solidarity rate. These special rate spaces are limited and intended to ensure equitable access to the festival for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and/or disabled vendors and small nonprofits that provide affirming support to the LGBTQIA+ community. You can notate your interest in the community solidarity rate in the application form. You must complete this application form first. Community solidarity is not available for food or beverage vendors.
