Pahrump Rodeo: Grab Your Vendor Spot Before They're Gone | The Locally Times
With only 12'x12' spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis, businesses must submit applications, payments, and permits by August 14, 2026, or risk missing out on the popular September event.
Want to put your business in front of thousands at Pahrump's biggest fall event? Local entrepreneurs have a critical, *first-come, first-served* opportunity to secure limited vendor spaces at the 2026 Fall Festival Rodeo, but the clock is ticking. Vendor applications are now open for the annual event, scheduled for September 25 and 26 at the McCullogh Arena within Petrack Park. This is a prime opportunity for local businesses and service providers to engage directly with the community and showcase their products during the popular rodeo. Information outlining the necessary steps for participation was posted by the Town of Pahrump on March 10, 2026. Crucially, these vendor applications are specifically for businesses operating *inside* the rodeo grounds, distinct from the general Fall Festival vendor applications found on the pahrumpnv.gov website. With space strictly limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, the application window will close once all available spots are filled. This policy demands prompt submission from interested parties, ensuring the Town facilitates business involvement and enhances the overall festival experience for residents and visitors. ## Secure Your Spot: Costs and Requirements Businesses looking to secure a presence at the 2026 Fall Festival Rodeo must act quickly and adhere to specific requirements. Each vendor space measures 12 feet by 12 feet, and the cost for participation is $150. Payments can be made via cash, check, or money order, as detailed in the application. This fee covers your space for the entire two-day event. Beyond the space fee, vendors must also meet insurance stipulations. All participating vendors are required to provide $1 million in general liability coverage. This coverage must specifically name the Town of Pahrump as an additional insured party—a standard practice for public events to ensure comprehensive protection. These measures ensure a secure, well-managed environment for both vendors and attendees. The complete application package provides all details for review. ## Permits You'll Need to Participate In addition to the space fee and insurance, vendors must obtain specific permits based on their business type. Food vendors, for instance, are required to submit a Temporary Health Permit. This ensures that all food and beverage offerings comply with public health standards, safeguarding the well-being of festival-goers. Retail vendors, on the other hand, must obtain a Seller’s Permit, necessary for businesses selling goods and ensuring compliance with sales tax regulations. Remember, the August 14, 2026, deadline applies not only to your application and payment but also to the submission of these required permits. The Town's clear guidelines help businesses prepare thoroughly, contributing to a smooth and organized event. These vendor opportunities not only support local commerce but also add to the variety of attractions at the Fall Festival Rodeo.
