Pahrump Rodeo Vendor Spots Open, Deadline August 14 | The Locally Times
With limited spaces available for the September 25-26 event, businesses must submit applications, payments, and permits by August 14 to secure a spot.
Pahrump's annual Fall Festival Rodeo, a highlight of the town's calendar, is now accepting vendor applications for its 2026 event. Scheduled for September 25 and 26 at the McCullogh Arena at Petrack Park, this popular event offers a prime opportunity for businesses. A March 10 Town of Pahrump alert announced that vendor spaces are limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, with all applications, payments, and required permits due by August 14, 2026. ## Vendor Requirements and Costs Prospective rodeo vendors must meet specific requirements to participate. Each 12' x 12' vendor space is priced at $150, payable via cash, check, or money order. Crucially, all vendors must carry $1 million in general liability coverage, naming the Town of Pahrump as an additional insured. Food vendors are required to secure a Temporary Health Permit, while retail vendors need a Seller’s Permit. The March 10 Town alert, which outlined these details, strongly advises applicants to review the complete application package for full information. ## Application Process and Deadlines The firm deadline for submitting all applications, payments, and required permits is August 14, 2026. Given the limited number of spaces, the Town of Pahrump emphasizes early application, warning that the window will close once all available spots are filled. The March 10 alert clarifies that this application process is exclusively for vendors operating within the rodeo grounds. Businesses interested in becoming regular Fall Festival vendors must use a separate application, available on the pahrumpnv.gov website, though the alert did not provide specific details for that process. The total number of vendor spaces available or the expected attendance for the rodeo event were not specified in the alert. ## Related Community Opportunities Beyond the rodeo, the Town of Pahrump is also fostering community engagement through other opportunities. Lifeguard candidates must be at least 15 years old by April 1, 2026, and cashier applicants at least 14 by May 15, 2026. Both positions require specific certifications and screenings. Separately, Nye County's March 26 alert detailed an online tax sale scheduled from May 1 through May 4, 2026. Participation in this online-only auction, which offers trust properties, requires a $500 deposit and a $35 processing fee, with deposit deadlines set for April 27, 2026. ## Key Questions **What is the deadline for vendor applications?** Applications, payments, and required permits must be submitted by August 14, 2026. **How much does a vendor space cost?** Each 12' x 12' vendor space costs $150. **What insurance is required for vendors?** Vendors must provide $1 million in general liability coverage, naming the Town of Pahrump as an additional insured.
