FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
DEADLINE TO SIGN UP AS VENDOR:
Deadline to sign up as a vendor is March 15, 2008 or until
all the spaces are filled.
DEMOGRAPHICS:
The Cherry Blossom Festival was held in the city of Pasadena
for 5 years with the last two at the Rose Bowl with 10,000
attendees.
In 2007, the festival moved to the Little Tokyo district
of Los Angeles and the estimated attendance was over 16,000.
We are a Family Festival. In 2008, The METRO has confirmed
its promotional sponsorship for the Festival and will be outreaching
through their bus and train services to attendees and help
provide alternatives to the parking challenges in the area.
VENDOR HANDBOOK:
Vendor’s who have signed up will received a Vendor Handbook
via email or mail if you do not have email, which contains
all the Set up/Tear down, Rules and Regulars, Checking in
procedure, Security, and Informational Handbook which should
answer all questions you may have on who, what, why, and where
of your role in the Festival. The Vendor Handbook will also
be online so you can download the information at any time.
Vendor Coordination is Donna at dtbatangan@aol.com
Day of Event Vendor Coordinator is Grace at jgishihara@yahoo.com
The handbook will also contain names and contact information
if you have any questions or issues.
SECURITY:
The festival is being held on the streets of Little Tokyo
district of Los Angeles. We will have security personnel and
extra security lighting on Saturday night – however,
the streets are public property so it will be up to each individual
vendor how they wish to secure their space or if they wish
to tear down and re-set up Sunday.
COMMUNICATION:
Since the entire Festival Production Team are all volunteers
– the fastest means of communication is via
email.

you are interested in being a food vendor – email Donna
at dtbatangan@aol.com
with your menu, photo of your booth and what other events
you have participated in as a food vendor. Cost of Food Vendor
