This year has flown by; I can’t believe it’s time to start
preparing for the 14th annual Riverfest. My intention is to help
you plan for our event. The key words from me to you are
patience and cooperation - let’s work together to
make this a very successful event for you and all our guests
visiting us.
On Friday, July 11th, if you plan to participate on both
days, you may set up your booths starting at 3:30 p.m. –
you will not be able to enter High Street before that time.
Events start at 5:00 p.m. The pageant and live music will kick
off Riverfest.
On Saturday, July 12th, you may start setting up at 6:30 a.m. ,
absolutely no earlier. Your vehicles must be off the street by
8:30 a.m. for the safety of the pedestrians. Riverfest
officially opens at 9:00 a.m. Activities go on throughout the
day – Float-In, Duck Dash, Survivor Events, numerous
demonstrations, Car Show, motorcycle show, arts and crafts, lots
of food, youth fishing tournament, children’s activities, canoe
and kayak races, and music and more music.
Now let’s talk about the Rules and Regulations:
PLEASE DO NOT SET UP YOUR BOOTH WITHOUT CONFIRMATION THAT YOU
ARE IN THE CORRECT LOCATION.
1) Exhibitor space is limited - we will try to accommodate your
booth size needs!
2) Larger vendor spaces are very limited and may not be near the
entertainment.
3) Riverfest and the City of Seaford will not be
responsible for any items left on the street overnight. We will
however, have police patrolling the streets.
4) No parking on S. Cannon Street.
5) We will try to find parking near your booth for your
vehicles, but we can’t promise anything other than we will try
our best. We will work with you to keep them as close to your
location as possible.
6) You will be sent a location number and approximate
location of your booth, in early July. The location numbers are
color coded according to the color assigned to the EACH block .
There will be someone available to assist you with your
location.
If you have a large truck bringing your booth, I strongly
encourage you to set up early. This will ease the congestion
problem.
-
Providing
electric to each vendor is a problem. We strongly recommend
that you bring your own generator. It can be no larger than
3500 WATTS. Absolutely no diesel generators. Please do not
ask the local business people to hook up to their electric.
If you are unable to bring a generator to service your
equipment, we will consider your application and determine
IF we can provide electric service for your requirements.
There is a fee of $100 for this service. There is also a
form to complete, if you need this form please call me so
that I can send one to you. (302) 629-9173.
This is the ONLY way that we can accommodate your
electric requirements.
NO ELECTRIC FORM COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED WITH REGISTRATION
NO CITY PROVIDED ELECTRIC.
-
Potable
water is available at several locations on High Street and
on Market Street. You are free to get water at these
locations. We will try to mark them so that they are easily
seen.
-
It is your
responsibility to remove your booth and other vehicles from
the City’s streets at the end of Saturday evening, no later
the 11:30 p.m. All vehicles not removed by this time, may be
towed by the Police Department. Abandoned vehicles create
problems when the streets are re-opened to thru traffic.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
July is usually very hot. The entire area where the events are
held does not have much shelter from the heat. I recommend that
you bring a canopy to protect you and your booth from the sun.
We have also found over the years, a carpet under your feet also
helps reduce the glare and cuts the heat from the pavement.
All that being said, the Riverfest Committee truly hopes you
will take part in the 14th Riverfest. Enclosed is the
application. Please return it to me at your earliest
convenience– first come first serve. Applications need to
be in my hands no later than July 1st. You are NOT
guaranteed the same location that you had last year.
Any applications received after the deadline - your location
will be where ever space is available; PLEASE do not complain to
me that you do not have a “good” location if you wait until the
last minutes to submit your application. .
If you have any questions or wish to talk me please feel free to
do so. I am here to help make your experience at Riverfest
pleasant and beneficial for you.
