Anti-Harassment Policy: Barrels on the Bayou is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible community and festival for all of our attendees, brewers, vendors, artists, staff, and participants. To that end, we will not tolerate harassment of any kind. We embrace everyone and invite you to enjoy art + music + brews, regardless of race, gender, age (21+), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetics, and body shape and size. We will continue to celebrate a diverse experience. The rules are simple: No racism, no sexism, no discrimination, no insults/words that cause harm. These rules apply to all those within our festival community. Any participant who violates our harassment policy will be escorted out expeditiously for the culture. Try these brews. Don't try us.

LIMITATION OF EXHIBITS: Barrels on the Bayou reserves the right to stop or remove from the festival premises any vendor, or his representative who is performing an act or practice which in the opinion of Barrels on the Bayou is objectionable or detracts from the dignity of the event or is unethical or not in keeping with the business purposes of the event. BotB reserves the right to refuse admittance of exhibits, materials and/or staff personnel to the event until all dues and fees are paid in full. Barrels on the Bayou further reserves the right to make such changes, amendments, and additions to these rules and such further regulations as it considers necessary for the benefit of the event.

Important Note: Each vendor will receive one spot large enough to accommodate a 10x10 tent. Please make sure your tent is no bigger than 10x10. Anything more than what can fit into a 10x10 space will require additional fees. If you arrive with more than the agreed upon dimensions, you will forfeit your booth space and any monies paid and will be denied festival entry.

MATERIALS SUBJECT TO LICENSE OR RESTRICTION:

CARE OF SPACE: Vendor shall care for and keep in good order all space occupied by them and surrender such space at the close of the festival in the same condition as it was when taken over.

In the event of such termination or suspension, the vendor waives any and all damages and agrees that Barrels on the Bayou may, after deducting all costs and expenses, including a reserve for claims, refund to the vendor as and for complete settlement and discharge of said vendor’s claim and demands his prorate amount of all monies paid by all vendors.
