2026 location - Downtown Everett

Sorticulture is set in the middle of charming downtown Everett along tree and sculpture lined streets. The festival is near several hotels, restaurants and cultural institutions, with an abundance of street parking and garages. We have overnight security guards for theft prevention and the police station is 1-block away. 

Sorticulture vendors will be located in a straight line along Colby Avenue from Everett to Pacific Avenues with opportunities for two side streets of California Street near Funko and Hewitt Avenue near the music stage, beer garden and snacks. 

Please note that Everett can be windy. Prepare your booth accordingly. Bring appropriate weights and storage.

2026 vendor requirements

All vendors are required to have a City of Everett business license. Vendors must be 100% self-contained. We do not supply power or water to booths. If you use a generator, we request that it be silent, or battery powered.

The committee takes great care in curating a festival of unique products with a focus on art for the garden, unique plants, and handmade outdoor living products. We do not allow any imported or mass-produced items.

Artists: Only handcrafted art intended for display in the garden will be considered. Pieces must consist of work handmade by the artist and/or from the creative reuse of materials. Indoor products are acceptable if they have a botanical theme or are intended to be displayed with indoor plants. 

Makers and craftspeople: Products must have a botanical, garden art, or outdoor-living theme. We do not accept commercial or imported products. It is rare that the committee allows jewelry, candles, or beauty products unless the products are naturally derived and support a sustainable, nature-focused lifestyle.  

Nurseries: We accept a variety of unusual plants. Plant material must be grown in the Northwest and be suitable for the Northwest climate. We are looking to expand our native and indoor plant offerings. Every year, attendees tell us that they want to see more plant vendors.

Tools: We seek fine specialty gardening tools that are made in the USA and are not mass-produced.

Educational resources & nonprofits must be related to outdoor living, sustainability, and the garden. There is no fee to host an educational booth. Also, if you want to teach a gardening class or give a talk about your creative art process, please reach out to Kari.

Nonprofits raising money may be approved to vend at Sorticulture but will be charged a discounted rate.

Food vendors: We accept local food trucks and carts. Food vendors must be self-contained and have all necessary health permits. Vendors must be able to serve all three days. Items that are easy for walking and shopping are preferred.

2026 vendor fees

Our fee structure is based on booth size and visibility from different directions. We run our booths in pods back-to-back long the spine of the layout or central in the roadway for the most level surface. To help visualize our booth types, we have created a document to show the differences. View our Booth Configuration Options flyer. There will be 10 feet of spacing/opening between booth pods. Vendor fees are based on attending three days of the festival. These prices are the same as 2025. These fees help us cover the costs to host the festival, market the event and help create an awesome place to share / sell your artwork and plants!
