Vendors

The 3rd annual Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival is currently in the works in Baltimore, MD for Sat/Sun, March 29th/30th, 2025 at the Doubletree Hilton Pikesville, MD (same location as 2024). Last year we sold 375 tickets:  this does not include performers, volunteers and any comped tickets that were used. 

We work very hard to make Telltale a balanced show to benefit our guests and vendors alike. Please keep in mind that the following categories are very competitive:  Leather, women’s clothing, miscellaneous type booths, and jewelry.
 
Please make sure that your responses are reasonably detailed and that your contact information is the one you are most likely to see and respond to. This was we can handle questions in a timely manner. 
Vendor Hall Spaces, 10′ x 10′:
  • $200
  • 2 weekend passes per space
  • Discounted weekend passes for other helpers
 
Sponsorship, $50 (same for both author tables and vendor hall spaces)
  • 1 extra weekend pass
  • Shout out on Facebook
  • Listing your booth name in on the website 
  • Friday night load-in.
  • Option to either Judge a competition or participate/run a panel
  • Choice of booth space on a first come first serve basis (choice will be given the minute payment has been received)
Author Tables, 6′ x 3′ table with 3′ space behind:
  •  $110
  • 1 weekend pass per table
  • Discounted weekend passes for other helpers
     

Note electric hookup is provided by the hotel for an extra fee. (This is unfortunately not negotiable).  

What can we offer?

  • A carefully chosen limited number of vendors to ensure that there is a reasonable ratio of humans to vendors.
  • Floor plan and schedule of events is planned to be given to vendors approximately 3 weeks out from the event.
  • Access to both Kolleen and Donna both before and during the event.
  • Marketing tools for your use to market your booth on your business sites (links to event website, FB, etc.)
