FAQ's
What time can vendors setup?
Setup will begin at 8am on the mornig of the festival. We will have some volunteers available if you need help.
What do I need to bring?
Many vendors bring a pop-up tent and then whatever tables/displays you will need. Make sure to bring any promotional materials too (banners, business cards, brochures, etc.)
How are you promoting this event?
The event will be the TV20 Family Spotlight on March 17 and the TV20 Weekend Spotlight on March 18th. We are on the Gainesville Sun and Gainesville Moms calendar. We will have a 30 minute segment on Florida Forum. Community announcements on numerous radion stations and community billboards. Posters will be distributed to local businesses. Advertising on Fun4GatorKids and many local events leading up to event. Booth at Family Museum Night at The Harn on March 10.
How many people are you expecting?
Last year we planned the event in about 3 weeks and had very limited advertising and still had about 500 people show up. With the amount of media attention and the interest already expressed, we are estimating to have close to 2,000 people attend in 2011.
Anything else I should know?
Keep checking the events schedule as we will keep updating it. A few highlights right now are that Mayor Lowe will read a proclamation at 11am. We have a circus aerial act which will be performing throughout the day. Numerous dance, theater and musical acts are scheduled as well. We are also holding a raffle with many great items. These include free tickets to the Hippodrome and GCP, gift baskets and 4 tickets to Disney! If you would like to donate a raffle item, please let us know.
Also, if you would like any festival business cards, postcards or posters, let us know and we will get some to you.
