Sponsorship & Vendor Information

Vendor Opportunities

Breakin’ Up Winter is supported by event registration revenue, event sponsors and vendors, and NOTSBA membership dues. If you think you might be interested in marketing your company, products and services to our registered guests (200 acoustic musicians), here’s some information that may help you decide. 

We Have Three Types of Vendor Spaces

We hold BUW events in two buildings at Cedars of Lebanon State Park: the Assembly Hall and Cedar Forest Lodge. Both buildings experience steady foot traffic, but each vendor space has its own set of benefits.

The Assembly Hall | $150 Fri-Sat

The Assembly Hall is where NOTSBA holds the majority of its workshops and other programs. Please check out the slideshow above for an overview of the area.

For $150, you get a 6-foot table with two chairs near the main entrance to the Hall. We have room for up to three 2-table vendors. You may bring a second person to help man your tables. We provide complimentary registration for you and any additional workers. We provide bunks in the Group Lodge at no extra charge. If you need a second table, it’s just $25 more.

The Assembly Hall is a great location for books, CD, and merch sales. Note: this area is required to be conversation-free during presentations, so we ask for your cooperation. There are constant breaks in the program, however, so folks can browse your collection of goods throughout the day. Past vendors have reported good sales.

If you prefer to be in a less-restrictive space, you may consider setting up in the Cedar Forest Lodge.

The Cedar Forest Lodge

There is an all-weekend jam at the Cedar Forest Lodge across the street from the Assembly Hall. We can comfortably accomodate two vendors in open rooms on opposite ends of the building.

These two vendor spaces work well for instrument vendors. The first area, the Fireplace Room, features a sturdy, handcrafted display case and the other, the Side Hall, though not well lit, has room for several tables. Please take a minute to watch the brief slideshows below to view the available space:

The Fireplace Room | $250 Fri-Sat

The Fireplace Room (approx. 23’ x 16′) is where you want to be if you’re a stringed instrument vendor. The room has excellent light. The 13.5’ x 2’ x 41″ handcrafted cedar display case, plus two 6-foot tables in a space tailor-made for showing off acoustic instruments or wares of any kind. You’ll be located next to our main jam room where you’ll see plenty of foot traffic and interested buyers.

The Side Hall | $150 Fri-Sat

The Side Hall (approx 16’x6′) is another outstanding spot for a stringed instrument vendor. Its location next to our jam hall is usually hopping with pickers all day and evening. Though the area is not very well lit, we recommend bringing 1-2 clamp lamps, which is enough to conduct business. You’ll have two to three 6-foot tables; you can easily display 8-9 acoustic instruments in this space. And you can bring someone to help you mind the store; we’ll throw in a couple of bunks for the weekend as well so you don’t have to drive home at night. Building is locked from midnight to 8 am. Set up Thursday night or early on Friday morning, and tear down by midnight Saturday evening.
