Call for Vendors
Tiki Kon is seeking unique, high-quality artists and products that fit our themes of Tiki culture, tropical climates, nautical ephemera, and vintage fashion, design and housewares. For 2016, our Tribute to the USO theme extends the Tiki motif and includes memorabilia from the Pacific Theater during WWII and related non-violent military items., preferably with a tropical twist. (No guns, knives, hand grenades or simulations of those weapons will be allowed.)
Tiki Kon vending is open Saturday only, yet many of our past vendors report making comparable sales to an entire weekend selling at other events. Since we’ve compressed a weekend’s worth of vending/shopping into one day, our guests and vendors are free to relax and enjoy the rest of Tiki Kon while our vendors still capture as much revenue as if they’d worked all weekend.
Space is limited, so apply early! Applications are considered in the order they are received. If you've been a vendor at Tiki Kon in the past, you'll get priority consideration. We'll contact you with payment instructions as soon as your application is approved. More information is available in our Vendor Kit.

New vending options
With the permanent closure of the Red Lion at the Quay, we've moved Tiki Kon to the Oregon side of the Columbia River, to the Red Lion at Jantzen Beach. The vending area configuration and layout is different, so we are offering new vending options. The biggest change is the elimination of room vending, since there are no guest rooms adjacent to our show room. However, we are adding a nighttime vending option, so your booth can stay open during our headline Saturday night USO-style variety show.
Questions?
Our goal is to give you the best possible vending experience and present our guests with a fun, inviting shopping experience. Please emails us at vendors@tikikon.com if you have questions about vending at Tiki Kon.
