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 determined based on the capacity of the UAF and the reasonable expectations of hosting such an event to ensure a representative event experience. 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, pricing, 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 (Non-Selling):

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. 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 (Non-Selling):

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 must not promote or display anything that might appear to be inflammatory or political materials. UAF planning committee reserves the right to determine what may or may not appear to be inflammatory or political materials and may decline applicants or remove anything or anyone not in compliance with their decision(s). No hiring, recruiting for employment, or fundraising 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, Small Business and Artisan Booth Disclaimer (Selling):

There are three types of Selling Booths: Commercial, Small Business and Artisan. Commercial: for any business which doesn't fit under Artisan and Small-Business. Small-Business: for local, small business with a brick-and-mortar or has a physical location for goods and services that is not a residential unit. This may include retailers, service providers, catering services, among others. Artisan: for local, Asian-owned small businesses with no brick-and-mortar selling art, ceramics, jewelry, home, vintage, niche products, and other related items. 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 vendor booth. Booth placements will be determined based on registration and submission completion date and are subject to change by the planning committee. Booth classification is subject to final review by the UAF planning committee.


The Priority Deadline is March 6th, 2026 while the Final Deadline for Booths Applications (Commercial, Small-Business, Artisan, Cultural, and Non-Profit) is March 20th at 11:59pm.
