Sponsoring a Table or Vending at the Washington · Northern Virginia · Baltimore Pagan Pride Week is a great way to publicly celebrate our gratitude for the Great Harvest and the diverse Pagan paths and traditions in the greater MD, VA, and DC regions.
To become a sponsor or vendor, regardless of type, your group or organization must submit a Sponsor Agreement (and a sponsor donation) to the OHF no later than August 31. For questions about sponsoring the Pagan Pride Week, contact Viv via email at viv@openhearth.org.
There are five primary levels of sponsorship/vending arrangements for the Washington · Northern Virginia · Baltimore Pagan Pride Week. Subject only to the approval of the OHF Board of Governors, any kind of organization (informal group, charity, or commercial venture) can become a sponsor, hand out information, sell wares and offer services.
Please Note: Vendors attending the Washington DC event will not be allowed to sell merchandise since the event is being held on National Park Service land. If vendors choose to sponsor a table at this event you will be allowed to advertise or offer complimentary merchandise or services to promote your business, subject to the terms of the sponsor agreement. Simply put, money is not permitted to change hands.
Please Also Note: The Fairfax County Park Authority requires vendors attending the Northern Virginia event to donate 15% of gross sales.
