Become a Vendor

Lion Pride Tailgates offer local businesses and organizations the opportunity to display their brand and sell products and/or services.

As a vendor, you will have space to bring a 10x10 tent, food truck or a small trailer. Vendors supply their own equipment for their space, including chairs, tables, and tent.
