The City of Renton is inviting local businesses to submit a ‘Show of Interest’ form to become a vendor during summer events at Legacy Square. 

Legacy Square will come alive as an active arts and culture hub with a full lineup of summer programming designed to bring the community together. Events will include watch parties, movie nights, concerts, and seasonal festivals to create a vibrant downtown atmosphere and new opportunities for small businesses to connect with residents and visitors. 

We are currently seeking food vendors and merchandise or craft vendors who are interested in participating in these events from June 6 through September 19.

Vendor selection & requirements 

Vendor participation will be limited and curated to ensure a great experience for both attendees and vendors. Submissions will be reviewed based on several factors, including: 

  • Fit with the event or program theme 
  • Product quality and uniqueness 
  • Local presence (preference given to Renton-based businesses) 
  • Outdoor vending and event experience 

Submitting a ‘Show of Interest’ form does not guarantee placement, but it allows the event team to learn more about your business and be considered for upcoming events. 

If selected, vendors will be required to meet all applicable City of Renton business licensing and health requirements. A vendor fee may apply at the time of contract depending on the event.
