Overall Booth Disclaimer:

While the Utah Asian Festival is open to all, our mission is to highlight the vibrant cultures, foods, resources, and organizations that represent our local Asian American communities. Booths are based on a first-come, first-served basis depending on the capacity of the UAF and the needs of the Asian American and overall community. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance as a booth/vendor. UAF planning committee reserves the right for final booth decisions, placements, acceptances, rejections, waitlists, sizing, and related materials. Booth placements and sizes will be determined based on registration and submission completion date, UAF needs and priorities, and are subject to change by the planning committee.

Cultural Booth Disclaimer:

There are more than 50 Asian ethnic groups that reside in the state of Utah. We welcome any and all to apply for a Cultural Booth to represent your ethnic community’s arts and crafts, history, traditional dresses and regalia, artifacts, and other materials to demonstrate its rich history. We ask all cultural booths to have an interactive component (traditional games, script, etc), but must not sell any services or merchandise. We prefer applicants who are connected to one of our state’s many Asian ethnic community organizations. Cultural booths will be mixed inside and outside at the Utah State Fairpark. Booth placements will be determined based on registration and submission completion date and are subject to change by the planning committee.

Non-Profit Booth Disclaimer:

Nonprofit Booths are available to organizations that operate solely for the benefit of the local community and are able to provide a 501(c)(3) form/number. Nonprofit Booths are not allowed to sell any food, beverages, or merchandise and must not promote or display anything that might appear to be controversial or political. UAF planning committee reserves the right to determine what may or may not appear to be controversial or political and may decline applicants or remove anything or anyone not in compliance with their decision(s). No hiring, recruiting for employment, fundraising, or selling is allowed at nonprofit booths and will be considered as Commercial. UAF planning committee reserves the right to properly categorize applicants according to booth description and placements will be determined based on registration and submission completion date and are subject to change by the planning committee.

Commercial (and Artisan) Booth Disclaimer:

Commercial Booths can be used to display a product or service or any agency recruiting for employment. You may sell your product or service at the festival provided that you have a valid business license and an EIN number (state Tax ID). The sale of hot food or beverages is not permitted in any Commercial Booth. There are two types of Commercial Booths: Commercial and Artisan. Artisans are for local, Asian-owned small businesses selling art, ceramics, jewelry, home, vintage, niche products, and other related items. Booth placements will be determined based on registration and submission completion date and are subject to change by the planning committee.

If you have any questions prior to applying for any of the booths, or during the process, please email booths@utahasianfestival.org.
