Application process

A Clear, Professional Review Process

1

Submit Your Application

Provide your business information, products or services, contact information, and event interest. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.

2

Radiant District Reviews Your Business

Applications are reviewed for business legitimacy, event fit, all-ages suitability, category balance, and available space. Applicants may be waitlisted if a category is full.

3

Receive Conditional Approval and Agreement

Qualified vendors receive conditional approval, their Vendor Participation Agreement, applicable fee information, and preliminary compliance requirements. Conditional approval alone does not guarantee a final booth assignment.

4

Complete Payment, Compliance, and Confirmation

After the agreement is completed, Radiant District sends the official invoice or approved checkout link. Required compliance documentation is then completed before final vendor confirmation and booth assignment.

Never Pay Before You Are Approved.

Radiant District will not require vendors to send event fees to an individual's personal payment account or an unverified third party. Verify any payment request through radiantdistrict.com or an authorized Radiant District business channel.

Vendor expectations

Show Up Ready to Represent Your Business

Approved vendors are expected to communicate clearly, present their business professionally, follow event instructions, and complete only the requirements that apply to their participation.

  • Accurate business and product information
  • Professional, guest-ready presentation
  • All-ages-appropriate products and conduct
  • Timely completion of agreements and instructions
  • Applicable licenses, permits, or documentation
  • Respectful engagement with guests and vendors

Food Businesses

Food Vendor Interest

Radiant District is interested in hearing from food businesses, but March 6 food participation has not yet been formally opened. Final food participation depends on venue permissions, Iowa licensing requirements, fire and equipment rules, available space, and event approval.
