All of the information needed to participate as an exhibitor in the Evanston Green Living Festival is provided below.  

Exhibitors are businesses, non-profit organizations and school groups who offer products, services, and/or ideas that can help reduce people lower their personal carbon footprint.    

• Fees: $55 for Business exhibitors, $20 for Non-profit organizations, $10 for Evanston School groups, and participation is free for Sponsors.  NOTE: there is an additional $10 fee if you require an electrical outlet.  There are limited outlets available for exhibitors, so please apply early if you need one.  
• Registration/Payment Deadline: Thursday, September 15, 2011
• Booth Locations: Click HERE to see the assigned exhibitor booth locations and a site map for the 2011 Evanston Green Living Festival.  Exhibitors should familiarize themselves with their booth location before arriving at the festival.     
• When to Arrive at Festival: All exhibitors, except those who will be displaying in the front driveway of the Ecology Center, should arrive at the Ecology Center between 7:15am and 8:00am on the day of the festival.  Exhibitors who will be exhibiting in the front driveway, should arrive between 8:15am and 8:30am  to unload and setup their displays.   
• Unloading:
  • For those with heavy or voluminous booth items: Pull into the circular driveway in front of the Ecology Center, unload all of your items, then park your car one or two blocks away for the duration of the festival.  Festival personnel will do their best to help you get your items to your booth.  
  • For those with booth items of reasonable weight and volume: Park temporarily in the lot across Bridge St, carry your items to your booth, and then when you have moved all items to your booth, re-park your car one or two blocks away in the residential neighborhoods.  Festival personnel will do their best to help you get your items to your booth.  
• Exhibitor Parking: We are asking exhibitors this year to park, after unloading, on the streets in the residential neighborhoods close to the Ecology Center.  We will be reserving the parking lot across Bridge St. from the Ecology Center for ATTENDEES ONLY.  The reasoning is that more available parking for attendees will increase the number of people coming to the festival.     
• Physical Requirements for Booths and Displays: Any special requirements for a booth should be communicated to the festival committee in advance of the festival.  A booth table (8' or 6') and 2 chairs will be provided to each exhibitor.
• Rain on Day of Event: The festival will occur rain or shine.  Exhibitor booths will be in tents, under awnings, or in the Ecology Center, so there should be protection from any rain on the day of the festival.
