2/25/2024 Update: We have filled all available space for Food Vendors (a Vendor who is cooking on-site from a tent or Food Truck) at the 2024 Alaska Scottish Highland Games. If you are a food vendor and would still like to apply you will be added to a waitlist, however you will only be added if a current Food Truck Vendor cancels. Thank you for your understanding.

We are welcoming applications for vendor booth space at the 2024 Alaska Scottish Highland Games Celtic Marketplace. We are happy to receive applications, but please understand that we cannot guarantee booth space to all who apply. Applications will be considered by the organizers of the event for the appropriateness of wares and/or services regarding the theme of the event. 

 The games are not just any festival or fair, we are a Scottish Festival celebrating all things Scottish. We require our vendors to bring some type of “Scottish Flair” to their booth (See Scottish Flair section below for more information).  Organizers will also be taking into consideration the number of similar vendors participating and limiting too many similar Vendors.  The History of vendor participation at the ASHG and booth appearance will also be considered.  

 Vendors will be notified within 14 business days of receipt of application and any applicable fees if their application is accepted. 

 Placement on the grounds is at the discretion of the organizers, while previous vendor placement and vendor placement requests are considered it is not guaranteed.  Many factors go into determining location of vendors and we appreciate your understanding in advance. We do not accept MLM Vendors, Sales Vendors, Direct Sales Vendors or Political Vendors, our focus is Handmade Artisan items, thank you for your understanding.


When planning for the merchandise, entertainment, or food that may be offered at your booth, please remember that the Alaskan Scottish Club considers the appropriateness of wares and or services regarding the theme of the event. The games are not just any festival or fair, we are a Scottish Festival celebrating all things Scottish. With Merchandise, we are looking for handmade artisan style items, not MLM, Direct Sales, or Fair type items. For Food we are looking for traditional Scottish favorites or creative takes on Scottish Favorites. While we absolutely understand that not every vendor can offer only Scottish themed items, vendors need to bring some type of “Scottish Flare” to their booth. Rather it be Tartan/Scottish décor, Scottish inspired crafts or arts, employees wearing kilts, giving a normal menu item a Scottish name, or even creating a Scottish inspired food, our vendors have become even more a part of our Scottish event and our attendees appreciate this also!  Scottish Flare is a requirement not an option. If you would like some ideas, please contact us, we are happy to help with suggestions.

 Because vendors play a major role in the experience at the Games and we appreciate the Scottish Flare that is brought to each booth, the Alaskan Scottish Club, with the help of attendees (People’s Choice Award), votes and awards our vendors special awards for their Scottish Flare.  The Best-In-Show Scottish Flare Vendor for 2024 will have their 2025 ASHG Vendor Booth Fee Waived.

Congrats to our 2023 ASHG winners:

  • Best-In-Show Scottish Flare: Women Warrior Event Planning (Weddings, Renewals, Handfasting, Photo Booth)
  • Best Scottish Food Vendor: Alaska Mac Shack (Mull of Kintyre Mac, Bannock Cookies, Tattie Soup, Edinburgh Wraps and Cheese Toasties)
  • Best Scottish Merchandise Vendor: Molly’s Collectibles All things Celtic and Scottish
  • Most Creative Scottish Flare: Alaska’s Best Gourmet Dogs (AK Throwing Bears, a Hidden Loch Ness Monster, and a Hot Dog in a Kilt playing Bagpipes!)
  • Most Creative Scottish Food: (TIED) Mosquito Eatery (Vegetarian Haggis aka Falafel) and Taco Love (Haggis Tacos)
  • People's Choice: Bitchin' Biscuits (15ft Smoking Bagpipes)

Please read all information included in the Vendor Information Packet found at our website. The Alaskan Scottish Club, Alaska Scottish Highland Games, and the Alaska State Fair, Inc. assume no liability for the safety/quality of the products sold or offered to the public by the individual vendors.  If you have any questions please contact us, we are happy to help!

Dumpsters are available to empty trash throughout the weekend.  Please do not empty trash into the field trash cans at any point, including at the end of the event. 

If your space is not cleaned after your departure or you are found to be using a field bin at your space or emptying your trash into a field bin, you will be billed a cleaning fee. You will be unable to register for future events until the cleaning fee is paid in full.
