Join the Event as a Participant

When you set up as a vendor or sponsor at Shriner's Summer Fest in Haughton, you place your brand directly in front of riders, campers, and families who are spending three full days on the property. Vendors include food trucks, merchandise sellers, and service providers who need consistent foot traffic and access to a defined audience. Sponsors receive visibility through on-site signage, event promotion, and marketing materials distributed before, during, and after the event.

Shriner's Summer Fest invites food vendors, merchandise vendors, and local businesses to participate in the first annual event, which runs from Thursday, June 11th through Sunday, June 14th in Haughton. Space is limited, and early sign-up is encouraged because vendor spots fill quickly once the event schedule is published. Sponsorship opportunities allow brands to reach a large off-road and outdoor recreation audience through on-site presence, digital promotion, and physical signage placed near high-traffic areas such as the contest zone, stage, and main camping entrance. Vendor and sponsor participation supports the event experience and future growth by adding food options, product availability, and financial backing that allows Shriner Fest to expand its offerings in subsequent years.

If you operate a food truck, sell off-road gear, or want your business seen by hundreds of riders in Haughton, contact Shriner's Summer Fest to review vendor and sponsorship forms.

You complete a vendor or sponsorship application through linked forms that ask for your business name, the type of product or service you provide, and the level of participation you want. Food vendors typically bring their own trucks, tents, and equipment, while merchandise vendors set up tables or pop-up displays in designated areas near the main camping zones in Haughton. Sponsors receive recognition based on their contribution level, which may include logo placement on event signage, mentions in social media posts, and inclusion in printed materials handed out during registration.

After your application is approved, you will receive instructions on setup times, placement locations, and any electrical or water hookups available on the property. You gain exposure before the event through promotional posts, during the event through direct interaction with attendees, and after the event through recap content shared with the Shriner Summer Fest audience.

Vendor fees and sponsorship packages vary depending on the type of participation and space requirements, and you are responsible for bringing your own permits, insurance, and inventory. The event does not provide food preparation equipment, display tables, or retail infrastructure, so you must arrive with everything needed to operate independently throughout the weekend.

Local businesses and vendors often ask how space is assigned, what the approval process looks like, and whether sponsorship includes exclusive category placement, so these answers clarify what you need to know before applying.
