Rodeo Vendor Rush: Pahrump Sets August 14 Deadline, $1M Insurance | The Locally Times
Limited $150 vendor spaces for Pahrump's Fall Festival Rodeo are first-come, first-served, demanding a $1 million liability policy and full application by August 14.
Pahrump's annual Fall Festival Rodeo is calling for vendors, but businesses must act fast: limited spaces, a $150 fee, and a $1 million insurance policy are all due by August 14, 2026. Town records released March 10, 2026, detail the requirements for businesses hoping to secure a spot at the September 25-26 event, held at McCullogh Arena within Petrack Park. ## Rodeo Vendor Application Details Town records released March 10, 2026, outline the specific requirements for businesses operating within the rodeo grounds. Each 12-foot by 12-foot vendor space costs $150, payable by cash, check, or money order. A non-negotiable requirement is $1 million in general liability coverage, naming the Town of Pahrump as an additional insured party. Beyond the fee and insurance, specific permits are mandatory: food vendors need a Temporary Health Permit, and retail vendors must secure a Seller’s Permit. All components — application, payment, and permits — must be submitted by the August 14, 2026 deadline. This means the application window could close well before the August 14 deadline if demand outstrips availability. It's key for businesses to note this application is *only* for vendors operating within the rodeo grounds during the September 25-26 event. Information for general Fall Festival vendors, who operate outside the specific rodeo arena, is available separately on pahrumpnv.gov. ## Unspecified Application Information While Town records released March 10, 2026, outline key vendor requirements, they leave several details unspecified.
