Vendors
What is Steampunk? Is the question on the mind of many folks in this sleepy little river town. The vendor market at this first-time festival will introduce the fanciful world of Steampunk to the community of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, bringing the first impressions of this extraordinary genre to many of the attendees. This festival of whimsy will show folks what Steampunk is, how much fun it can be, how kind and courteous “steamies” tend to be, and will give folks the opportunity to take a little piece of their experience home with them.
The Steamship Landing Exposition is accepting applications for vendors who would like to offer items for sale at our steampunk festival on June 13-14, 2020.
Vendor Information
Vendor booths will be 10x10 (ten foot by ten foot) for single booths and 10x20 (ten foot by twenty foot) for double booths.
No vendor booths have the ability to have power or running water provided. Any of these requirements will need to be met by the vendor.
Artisan and merchandise vendors will set up on Main Street between 6th and 4th street in pre-defined spaces as identified by the Plattsmouth Conservancy Steampunk Committee.

Vendors have the option to remain active and open up to 12:00AM Sunday (midnight Saturday night) if they so choose. We request all vendors remain open until 2:00 PM on Sunday unless other arrangements have been agreed upon. Failure to do so will result in those vendors not being asked to return to future events.
