The San Luis Valley Arts and Entertainment Committee would like to announce that the dates for the 8th Annual SummerFest on the Rio are June 4th-6th, 2010.

Please know that although you may be a local vendor or have participated in years past we cannot guarantee that your application will be accepted. We approve only two qualified food applicants of the same type of product on a first come first serve basis. Please understand that we do this due to the size of our show and to benefit each of you as a vendor. ALL products must be hand crafted. We will not accept imported or retail items.

All of our committee members volunteer their time while fulfilling other commitments. Please keep this in mind if it takes a couple of days to receive a response to your letters, emails, and phone calls.

Festival hours this year

Check-in will begin Friday, June 4th from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm and on Saturday, June 6th from 7:00 am to 9:30 am. Please do not ask to check-in prior to the times listed. Friday set up is optional. Saturday and Sunday, booths must be open and ready to go by 10:00 am. Use your own discretion Friday and Saturday for closure. We request no driving on the grass or dismantling your booth before 4:00 pm on Sunday unless pre-approved by the Committee.

There have been changes to the booth information form and application. Applications are due no later than 5:00 pm on Friday, May 21st. To receive full refunds on booth spaces, a letter of request is due no later than one month prior to the festival.

We truly appreciate your continued support, and look forward to seeing you in Alamosa for the SummerFest weekend of June 4th-6th.
