The Kinmount Fair is held every Friday – Sunday of the Labour Day weekend. If you’re interested in becoming a vendor at the Kinmount Fair, please read the rules and regulations and then complete the application form below.

If you have any questions, please contact info@kinmountfair.net.

Rules and Regulations for Vendors and Concessions

1. All vendors must check in with the fair office (secretary’s office) before setting up their booth. Booth locations will be confirmed, and weekend passes and receipts given at that time.

2. For convenience and ease during set-up, concessions should arrive early. Setup begins on Wednesday, August 29th at 11 a.m. and ALL BOOTHS MUST BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS BY FRIDAY, 9 A.M. and MUST REMAIN OPEN UNTIL LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON (5 P.M.).
Operating Hours – Please try to be open by approximately 9 a.m. each day of the fair. Closing hours can be flexible according to what your business is like at the end of the day, but we ask that all booths stay open until 5 p.m. on the closing day of the fair.

3. Every concession must have a clean, respectable booth or display. Failure to comply with this rule could lead to expulsion from the grounds. (NOTE: Food booths may be inspected by Peterborough Public Health and the Municipality of Trent Lakes Fire Department)

THERE WILL BE A LIMIT ON HOW MANY PERSONAL VEHICLES ARE PERMITTED WITHIN THE BOOTH SPACE – WE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE ROWS FOR THE VENDOR AREAS AND ALL THE EXTRA VEHICLES MAKE THAT IMPOSSIBLE. AN AREA NEARBY THE VENDOR AREA WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VENDORS AT NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR PARKING. EMAIL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

4. Please include proof of liability insurance naming Kinmount Agricultural Society as an additional insured party on the certificate with your application. Kinmount Fair is registered with DUUO to allow reasonable insurance rates for those vendors who need to acquire insurance for the event. Please email us for info and the link to this service.

5. Concessionaires must remain within their assigned space to sell their merchandise.

6. No selling of raffle tickets by vendors is allowed on the grounds.

7. Concessionaires requiring electricity must have heavy duty extension cords. Inappropriate equipment is dangerous to everyone and will not be tolerated. All booths using electricity may be inspected by the Electrical Safety Authority.

8. Rates for 2025: There is no change to the rates for 2025. After you fill in the online application, we will send you an email with a quote for the total cost.

9. Each vendor is entitled to two (2) weekend passes per 10 feet of frontage. Any passes exceeding this amount will cost $40/pass. Vendors must indicate on their application form the number of passes required. Extra passes can be paid for in advance or at the fair office upon check-in.

10. As a result of problems experienced at the fair and in support of a motion by the Fire Chiefs of Ontario the sale and use of Chinese Lanterns has been strictly forbidden by the Board of Directors of the Kinmount Agricultural Society.
