Town of Winter Park License Requirement:
The Town of Winter Park business license regulations have changed because of SB22-032. Vendors who have an incidental physical presence and a Colorado Retail Sales Tax License is exempt from the Town of Winter Park business license. Each vendor will still need to create a MUNirevs account so that the March 2024 sales tax form can be added to your account. You can head to https://winterpark.munirevs.com to apply for an account. The language may seem confusing because it is asking you to apply for a business license, but at this time to make a change in the MUNIrevs system to the verbiage, takes 12 weeks. You are simply creating an account so that the March 2024 sales tax form can be added to the system.   This form will be due May 20, 2024.

Please direct any license-related questions to skauber@wpgov.com.

VENDOR FAQs & POLICIES

Where is TheBigWonderful at Winter Park located?
This event will be held throughout the Village and Base of Winter Park Resort.

Do I need insurance or a business license to be a vendor?
Yes, you will need proof of business insurance (event-specific or general liability) in order to vend at our events. Please add TBW Enterprises LLC, PO Box 3128, Greenwood Village CO 80155 as an additional insured on your policy. You can acquire per-event insurance HERE. Proof of insurance is required to be uploaded upon signing the Vendor Agreement. Each vendor is responsible for having the appropriate business and sales tax licenses for the jurisdiction of the event (city and state).

Additionally, please note that a Winter Park Business License ($60 additional fee) may be required to participate in this event. A Vendor who has incidental physical presence AND a Colorado Retail Sales Tax License is exempt from the Town of Winter Park business license. We are required to submit our vendor list to the Town of Winter Park, and any vendors who do not meet one of the license requirements above will be turned away at load-in.

All approved vendors will need to create a MUNIrevs account here regardless of their license needs so the appropriate sales tax forms can be added to your account. Additional instructions and links will be sent with application approval. Please include TheBigWonderful at Winter Park in your application description.

What do vendor booths include?
All vendors must be self-sufficient and are responsible for bringing their own tents, weights, tables, furniture, and décor to create a unique and inviting pop-up shop.

Can I share my 10x10 booth?
Yes! We love co-op-style booths. 10x10 Booths can be shared by 2 Vendors. Please include all involved vendors in your application for approval. There is no charge to share a 10x10 booth.

If you apply for a booth space without a partner and would like to add one later on, you must email vending@gumpoppresents.com to have the shared booth partner approved.

What is your cancellation, refund & transfer policy?
Vendors will have 48 hours after application approval to cancel their vendor registration.

Accepted vendors will be notified with more detailed load-in instructions at least two weeks prior to the event. All pop-up tents must be set up and weighed down by 9:00AM on Saturday, June 24th before the lifts open. Once your tent is in place, you can take your time setting up displays and products. We will open the craft vendor village at 12:00PM, and breweries will start pouring for Tasting Session 1 at 12:00PM.
