In the past, vendors and exhibitors at Tallahassee PRIDEFEST have included:

• Souvenir and merchandise retailers.
• GLBT-friendly businesses seeking to recruit new employees and customers.
• Political candidates interested in meeting with constituents.
• HIV and other health testing.
• Social and sports organizations seeking new members.
• Educational and political organizations distributing information.
• Food vendors.
• Artists and art organizations.
• Games, attractions, and novelty booths.

Why Be a Vendor/Exhibitor?

Vendors and exhibitors at Tallahassee PRIDEFEST's annual Pride in the Plaza event have the opportunity to directly interact with as many as 3,500 GLBT people and their allies in North Florida’s largest annual gathering of this community.  For-profit businesses, political candidates, various causes, and retailers will discover a captive audience interested in their products and message.

Studies and research have found that GLBT people make up a brand-loyal and lucrative niche market in any business plan (nationally, the GLBT community has approximately $655 billion in spending power). Non-profit organizations will have the opportunity to educate the GLBT community about important issues, recruit members, and get feedback from the community about their interests and goals.

Space for vendors/exhibitors is unfortunately limited.  We try to accommodate as many as possible, focusing on those with quality presentation.  If you have additional questions about vendor/exhibitor registration, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
