  • Booths in the municipal park / Booths 51-153 (Zone B): Park on Grant Ave and check in at the west vendor entrance on Grant Ave. If you cannot find a parking spot on Grant Ave, please try on-street parking in the surrounding area. We recommend 26th street or the parking lot south of the amphitheater. No vendor parking on 25th street between Grant and Washington because this parking is for festival attendees. If you park on 25th street, you will not be permitted to enter from the front entrance because that entrance will be closed until 11 a.m. No matter where you park, you are required to enter through the west entrance. On-street parking is limited, so be prepared to walk if you do not arrive early. We recommend that you bring a cart to help transport your belongings.
  • Carts: We recommend you bring your own cart to transport your belongings, but we do have two carts and a limited number of volunteers available to help transport belongings to/from your assigned vendor location. If you need assistance, inquire at a vendor check-in booth. If a cart is not returned immediately after use, there could be a $50 inconvenience fee.
  • Food trucks (Zone C): Come to the corner of Grant Ave and 25th Street.
  • ADA-compliant parking spots will be in the parking lot directly to the south of the amphitheater.

Vendor Information Booths

After 11 am: If you need assistance between 11 am and 8 pm, go to the Ogden Pride Information booth located in the amphitheater near the north entrance.

Electricity

Electric outlets are possibly available in the amphitheater and in the park; however, Ogden City cannot guarantee that any specific outlet is in working order due to flooding and misuse. So they recommend that you bring a 100-foot extension cord. Please note that these outlets are only 10 amps; therefore, please try to avoid overloading them.

Food trucks/vendors who require a food handlers permit must bring their own generator to ensure consistent power and proper food temperatures.

Bathrooms

Bathrooms are located on both sides of the main stage inside the amphitheater.

We are an inclusive organization and do not police our festival attendees in their needs for public accommodations no matter their identity. Please respect everyone at the festival.

Your contact information has been provided to the Utah State Tax Commission, and they will send you the Temporary Sales Tax License form.
