<p>I've wanted to promote a fest, but never really had the seed money to get going. Now, I have potential access to a camp ground, and facility willing to sell food and refreshments. Making the even free, and lodging being the responsibility of those attending, allows for a huge area for a festival. I'm not even looking to make money from a festival, I just don't want to be at a loss. I have a bit over a year to plan, too, because South Texas is far too hot for an outdoor festival until late…</p>
<p>I've wanted to promote a fest, but never really had the seed money to get going. Now, I have potential access to a camp ground, and facility willing to sell food and refreshments. Making the even free, and lodging being the responsibility of those attending, allows for a huge area for a festival. I'm not even looking to make money from a festival, I just don't want to be at a loss. I have a bit over a year to plan, too, because South Texas is far too hot for an outdoor festival until late October (the current tentative event month). </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Questions:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>If you've ever ran a festival, how much do you charge for a vendor area?</li>
<li>If you've ever been a vendor at a festival, what was the range you've had to pay?</li>
<li>If you've ever had food trucks come in, did you charge them to park and sell food? If so, how much?</li>
<li>If you've ever went out looking for sponsors, how did you go about that? Did you ask for money, or swag, or both? Did you ask for a specific amount?</li>
<li>What are some things you didn't have covered, your first time running a festival?</li>
</ul>
