ROCKTOBERFEST 2015 Thank you so very much for your interest in vending and/or exhibiting at RocktoberFest 2015. In addition to planning a burger cook-off, free music and a showcase of local crafts, products, and foods, RocktoberFest 2015 will be a ZERO WASTE EVENT.

What is ZERO WASTE EVENT? ZERO WASTE is a “no waste”, sustainable approach to managing the production and life cycle of goods and products. A ZERO WASTE EVENT maximizes recycling (including composting) and minimizes waste. Large gatherings of people at event venues generate large quantities of waste and we hope you will support our economic and environmental efforts at RocktoberFest.

The fund is accessed on a first come-first serve basis and will provide you with compostable silverware. You will need to let us know the number of pieces you will need.
