Are you a Food Vendor? Register Here

New for 2026: Please read before registering

Due to the high volume of vendor interest coupled against the high number of no-shows and last minute cancellations in past years, we are charging a nonrefundable fee of $20 to register as a vendor at Guts and Glory 2026. This fee not only demonstrates your commitment, it also helps to offset the costs of organizing and promoting the festival, including venue expenses, permits, security, marketing, and logistical support.  In this way, we can ensure a well-attended and successful event. Thank you for your understanding and support!  
 

We will be in touch once a vendor is approved, after which they will be asked to pay the $20 by mailing a check to our PO box (My Gut Instinct PO Box 6635, Reading PA 19610-0635). Also, we appreciate donations to help us offset costs of running this event, so vendors can add to the $20 if they so choose. 

Your recognition and marketing will appear on our website, our social platforms, and our event program books.

  • Approval will be acknowledged through a WELCOME EMAIL from us.  Participation is then only confirmed after the $20 fee is paid. We will personally notify  by email any vendor who is not deemed suitable for our event
  • Vendors must bring their own table and chairs
  • Electricity is extremely limited at this park and cannot be guaranteed
  • We kindly request 2 weeks’ notice in a written email for any cancellations
  • While we do have a rain date of Sun Oct 4, a canopy or tent is highly recommended regardless on event day to protect against drizzle, wind, dust, or other suboptimal weather conditions
  • Please download our event flier and display at your business after registering, so that your customers can come see you at Guts and Glory 2026!

Finally, we welcome the opportunity to share health-minded wisdom with our followers and encourage any interested vendors to consider contributing an article to one of our monthly blogs and secondarily market their business/company/organization. Interested vendors should reach out to info@mygutinstinct.org

    Each vendor must offer one unique, interactive activity that is hands‑on or experiential, provides an educational takeaway, does not duplicate another vendor’s activity, and fits within the zone’s theme. Please pick an activity associated with the zone you chose or pick your own:
