exhibitor faq

Can I add power to a Seedling exhibitor package?

No. This year we have streamlined our options to simplify production and associated costs. If you need power, please select our Sprout exhibitor package.

Is there a non-profit discount?

Email is at vegtofest@veg.ca for details

Can I choose my spot?

Yes! Our Harvest exhibitors will have the option to select their booth space. For other exhibitor categories, we are offering exhibitor ‘zone’ selection on a first-come-first-served basis. Once you pay in full you will be able to pick your zone from the site map.

Can I sponsor VegTO Fest?

Yes! If you’re interested in sponsoring our event, email Sarah Fay, Event Manager at vegtofest@veg.ca

Can I reserve my space and pay later?

Unfortunately no. We require payment in full via Paypal or credit card to secure your place.

Is this a vegan festival?

Yes! Everything you bring to the festival must be vegan, meaning free of all animal products including meat, eggs, dairy, honey, leather, wool, and anything else that comes from an animal. Failure to adhere to this rule may cause you to be removed from the festival.

Can I exhibit if I’m not an exclusively vegan business?

Yes you can! We just ask that you only bring vegan products, and do not bring signage that depicts any animal products to respect the attendees of the festival.

Do I need proof of insurance?

No, this year proof of insurance is not necessary as the festival is covered under VegTO’s insurance. However, we recommend having insurance for property loss or damage sustained, as VegTO is not responsible for any instances of those.

Are there any restrictions on marketing materials and/or tactics I can deploy during the event?

Yes. Nathan Phillips Square has restrictions related to on-site petitions, graphic imagery and political sentiment. VegTO Fest is classified as an event and not a rally. As such, we are required to submit all exhibitor marketing materials and messaging to the venue for pre-approval in advance of the event.

Can I cook food onsite at this event?

Yes - this option is available to our Harvest exhibitor package only. The Harvest exhibitor package offers exhibitors the opportunity to prepare and serve food onsite. It includes a double-sized tent space for cooking and serving, floor mats, extra power and space in our refrigeration unit. Sprout exhibitors are free to warm and serve food, but cooking will be prohibited. Seedling exhibitors will be able to sample pre-packaged foods.

Can I add refrigeration to a Seedling exhibitor package?

No. This year we have streamlined our options to simplify production and associated costs. If you need refrigeration, please select our Harvest exhibitor package. There will be limited refrigeration add-ons available for purchase with the Sprout package.
