Important Information

  • Tents must be anchored with weights or water barrels. Tents may NOT be anchored with stakes or mechanisms that require penetrating the ground. 

  • Each vendor will be responsible for maintaining a clean/sanitary vendor space during the event and each vendor will be responsible for your own trash cleanup and removal of the vendor space immediately following the event. 

  • GMSA has very limited access to power. Generators are not allowed, unless special arrangements are made in advance. 

  • The City of Gulfport and/or Gulfport Main Street Association, and Centennial Plaza is not responsible for loss or damage of items or the injury of any persons at or associated with this event. 

  • The Gumbo Fest Committee will promote the festival; however, it is proven that artists who consistently promote the shows they attend will have the most sales. We will provide you with a promotional piece to share on social media. We recommend you encourage the show several times a week leading up to the show, then every day the week of the show. You may want to set up an event on Facebook and personally invite your friends and followers.
