BECOME A VENDOR
GET THE EXPOSURE YOU NEED
With over 70,000 people visiting the Maricopa County Fair each year, it’s the perfect place to sell your products or promote your business.
OUTSIDE VENDORS & CONCESSIONS: Since the fair is in the spring, we normally have excellent weather, making outside locations appealing to many vendors.
INSIDE VENDORS: Inside spaces are in a climate-controlled building. Each space has pipe and drape. The building features entertainment, demonstrations, make and take activities, art displays, and the fair’s competitive still exhibits (quilts, jams, jellies, horticulture, etc.) as well as the feature prize drawing.
Tables and chairs are available for rental onsite.
In addition to Arena Shows, great family entertainment, huge carnival, and strong livestock shows, the fair features several promotions to help drive traffic to the fair and buyers to your booth!
