Quick Answers

Head to the Vendor Page and select your category — from Small Business ($100) to Corporate Booth ($500). A non-refundable deposit is required to lock in your spot. Spots are limited and released to the waitlist the moment a deposit clears, so apply early to get your preferred location.
We offer 10 sponsorship tiers from $1,000 (Small Business Sponsor) to $50,000+ (Title Sponsor). Each tier includes a specific benefits package — brand activation zones, MC mentions, social posts, VIP passes, and more. Visit the Sponsor Page to explore all options and submit an inquiry.
The 229 Festival offers up to 1,000 positions across three phases: Pre-Event (digital team, social media, street team, photographers, etc.), Event Weekend (security, setup, hospitality, merchandise, etc.), and Post-Event (content editing, marketing, community projects, etc.). Visit the Workforce Page to apply for your role.
All inquiries are acknowledged within 24 hours during normal business days. Vendor and sponsorship applications may take up to 48 hours for a full review response. If your inquiry is urgent, email us directly and note "URGENT" in the subject line.
The 229 Festival is held in South Georgia — the heart of the 229 area code. Exact venue and address details will be announced via our email list and social media channels as the event date approaches. Join the mailing list to be the first to know.
Absolutely. We have dedicated vendor categories for Nonprofits ($50 deposit) and Community Organizations ($75 deposit) — specifically priced to make participation accessible. We also offer a Community Sponsor tier at $5,000 for organizations looking for greater visibility at the festival.
