13th Annual Neon Paint Party Vendor Sign Up Page (Artisan)

RISE 915 Market is proud to return for our third year helping curate the vendor experience for Neon Paint Party at Wet N’ Wild Waterworld.

This is not a traditional market. Neon Paint Party is a high-energy, late-night festival experience with water rides, colorful paint, live DJs, entertainment, food, and thousands of attendees ready to spend, interact, and be part of the experience.

The event runs 8:00 PM – 2:00 AM and consistently attracts a strong 18–34 demographic, with recent years bringing approximately 8,700–9,500 attendees.

What Vendors Should Expect

Vendors should come prepared for a fast-paced, loud, colorful, high-traffic event. This crowd responds best to booths that are bright, engaging, easy to shop, and full of energy.

Best-selling categories may include:

• Festival fashion
• Glow accessories
• Jewelry
• Sunglasses
• Hats
• Temporary tattoos
• Body glitter / face gems
• Rave accessories
• Waterproof phone pouches
• Fun impulse-buy items
• Beauty, braid, or interactive services
• Bold snacks, drinks, and late-night food concepts where approved

Vendor Requirements

All vendors must bring:

• A white 10x10 canopy
• Proper canopy weights
• Lighting for nighttime visibility (power banks, no electricity)
• A clean, professional booth setup
• Enough staff to manage the booth throughout the night
• Fast checkout options
• High energy and strong customer engagement

Because of the size and pace of this event, we strongly recommend vendors bring at least 2 people to work the booth. This is a late-night, high-volume environment, and vendors should be ready to actively engage customers, restock quickly, and maintain a strong presence all night long.

What Works at This Event

This is the kind of event where vendors do best when they become part of the experience.

Come ready to:

• Be loud, fun, and visible
• Use lighting, color, and display height
• Offer quick-buy items
• Create photo-worthy booth moments
• Bring enough inventory
• Keep your booth energetic from start to finish

Neon Paint Party is built on energy, color, music, and movement. Vendors who match that energy tend to see the strongest results.
