Vendor Information
We are so happy to be hosting our Spring and Harvest Edition events that will both have back-to-back weekends in 2025! Junkstock® is held at Sycamore Farms, a 120-year-old horse farm located on the western edge of Omaha, Nebraska. The farm is picturesque, a beautiful setting located on 135 acres, with sunsets that will melt your little hippie heart. Sycamore Farms consists of two old horse arena barns, sycamore stables, the old livery, a farmhouse built in 1901, a gypsy wagon, a couple of quaint cottages, some fun outbuildings, winding gravel roads, a big fishing pond, super old trees that make it such a groovy and one of a kind location for Junkstock ®. We are so very lucky to have the opportunity to be able to utilize this charming farm year after year. The vendor booths will be spread throughout the farm and in the buildings giving vendors a perfect backdrop to show off their beautiful displays. All the food vendors are located together and near the Junkstock® Stage. Junkstock has live music throughout the weekend, vendors, and many fun and unique attractions and photo ops. Now’s your chance to channel your free spirit and share your delicous food & drinks with all the Junkstock peeps from near and far. Just click the Vendor Application Button and you could be a part of all the fun!

Price
If you are applying for both shows, and want to reserve the SAME SPACE for both shows, the deposit for both shows will be due with the April payment. No guarantee for the same space for the October show will be made unless deposit is paid for with the April show.
If approved to be a vendor, you will receive an email and information for remitting payment. You will have 10 days from the date of that email to remit payment to secure your space. If not paid by the due date, your space may be offered to another applicant. (Credit Card processing is available for an additional processing fee).
All payments are non-refundable, so before you commit, be certain you are able to attend.
Food vendor rental space fee for all 3 days of Junkstock®: $700
Please note: vendors participating in both weekends will receive a large discount for weekend 2 and pay only half price for the second weekend.
