We have finally found a permanent venue for Mystic Garden! Our new outdoor venue is on 25 acres with a 5,000 person capacity.
With this new space, we are now fulfilling our vision of expanding into bigger numbers of attendees and having much more room to spread out!

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a (non-food) vendor booth include?
Your booth reservation gives you a standard 10′ x 10′ booth plus one 5-day Event Camping Pass.
Can I get more passes for my other workers?
Yes, we offer more additional passes (up to 4 more) for 50% off (about $50 each).
What is the cost for a non-food-vending booth?
Our regular price for a NON-FOOD 10′ x 10′ booth is $400. This includes one 5-Day Full Event Camping Pass.
We also have 3 Discount Tiers (currently at Tier 3):
- Tier 1: $250 for the 1st 10 vendors (Early Bird price – SOLD OUT)
- Tier 2: $300 for the next 15 vendors (Discount – SOLD OUT)
- Tier 3: $350 for next 15 vendors
What is the size of a booth? Can I have a larger booth?
The normal booth size is 10′ x 10′ with camping usually available behind your booth. However, you may request a larger booth size (such as 10′ x 20′) for an extra fee, if such spots are available.
How are the booths arranged for non-food vendors?
Most of the booths form a traditional “festival bowl” with booths making a U shape. (See image on right.)
Note: This layout is only for the NON-FOOD vendors at the main stage meadow. This is NOT the final vendor layout and there is expected to be a couple slight tweaks and additions including the room for a few non-food vendors in a couple other sections of the festival.
Do corner booths or extra-high-traffic booth spots cost more?
Yes. Like most festivals, we are adopting a policy this year for tiered pricing by location. After we have our final booth map (with those corner spots and special places closer to stage clearly defined), we will then post the map online and announce the extra cost amounts for those booths. At that time you will have the opportunity to email the vendor voordinator if you wish to upgrade your booth’s position an extra fee.
Where will my booth be assigned? Do I have a say?
As mentioned above, we will be posting the final vendor map to this site after it is created. At that time, you and all other vendors will be able to select your top 2-3 choices of location. The vendor coordinator will then notify vendors of their assigned booth spaces, giving everyone one of their preferred spots if possible. If you wish to purchase a higher-cost booth location, you may make your requests at that time. Premier locations will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.
May I park my car next to my booth?
Generally the answer is no, with a few exceptions; we want as much of a “car-free” experience on the main festival grounds as possible. However, last year we allowed some vendors in the far row and on the far right side to have their cars parked behind their booths. We may have a similar policy this year and will announce that soon.
What day should I set up my booth – Tuesday or Wednesday?
The gates officially open to the public on Wednesday at 1:00 PM. We don’t insist that you have your booth setup before then, however, we do encourage you to arrive and be set up by that time, if possible.
On Wednesday, many of the camps including Ecstatic Dance, Yoga, Drum Camp, the Sound Healing Dome and the Devotional Dome will be active. However, we will not launch Main Stage until Thursday in the late afternoon. We would prefer if you at least set up by the end of the day on Wednesday.
If, because of other events, you find it nearly impossible to set up by Wednesday night, please contact the vendor coordinator to let us know. At the latest, we may make an exception for you to set up Thursday morning to be fully setup by noon on Thursday before larger crowds arrive.
What happens on Monday (the last day)?
The festival closes at 4:00 PM on Monday. We are having a barter faire all day on Monday which you are encouraged to participate in. If you have to pack up to leave early that is your option.
Payment
After applying, you may pay us through PayPal here, or by other means if necessary after making arrangements with the vendor coordinator.
