Snake Saturday Parade & Festival

How it works

Apply, get approved, then pay.

Apply

Tell us what you'll sell. 2025 deadlines were Feb 1 for concessions and Feb 17 for booths; 2027 dates to be confirmed.

Get approved

Event staff review every application and follow up by email.

Pay and prepare

Pay your fee, send your insurance certificate, and food vendors get their Clay County permit.

9 a.m.

Be set up

Roads close for the parade, so every booth must be ready by 9 a.m. Concessions sit east of Fayette, north of 18th.

Application

Preview: vendor applications are switched off until the board opens 2027 spots. Nothing is saved.

What will you sell or show?

We need electricity (110 V, up to 20 amps per hookup)

We'll provide proof of $1,000,000 general liability and contingent auto insurance, naming the City of North Kansas City, NT Realty, NKC Hospital and Northland Festivals as additional insured.

We'll be set up by 9 a.m. (roads close for the parade), and our booth will be family-friendly and fit the parade theme.

Weather matters: great weather usually means great crowds. Fees are not refunded; the festival happens rain, sleet, snow or sunshine.
