We are currently accepting vendors for May 4^th, 2024. The Cinco de Mayo Celebration will begin at 11 am that day. At 5pm, we will close off an additional two blocks (800 & 900 blocks) and open the Dynamic Discs Golf Block Party. At 5pm the two events will be combined into one large event where people can carry beer from block to block and people can visit vendors in the 4-block area.

There will be two options to vend.

All Day Option

This option will allow vendors to vend from 11am to 10pm. All Day Vendors will be set up in the 600 & 700 blocks of Commercial Street. Placement will depend on your signup date and electrical needs. Vendors who choose this option should prepare for crowds from the Cinco de Mayo celebration and the Dynamic Discs Block party. All Day vendors will need to set up around 9am and be open for business by 11 am. All Day Vendors will not be able to leave the event until it is over at 11 pm and the road is opened by Emporia PD.

Half Day Option

This option will allow vendors to vend from 5pm -10pm. Half Day Vendors will be set up in the 800 & 900 blocks. Placement will depend on your signup date and electrical needs. Vendors who choose this option will be able to set up by 3pm and should be open for business by 5pm. All Day Vendors will not be able to leave the event until it is over at 11 pm and the road is opened by Emporia PD. There will be several Disc Golf related vendors set up in this area.
