Are you a local business interested in showing at Sookarama?

Sookarama is a great opportunity to promote your business with an engaging booth and personally talking with the public about what you offer.

  • Booths are approximately 10 x 10 ft. bare space.
  • Tables and chairs are not provided nor available.
  • A limited number of booths have power available.
  • Vendors are responsible for making their booths attractive to customers. We encourage vendors to offer free draws to attract customers and build their own marketing lists.
  • Booths should not have backs exceeding 6 feet high and sides cannot exceed 3 feet high, unless pre-approved by our committee.
  • Number of booths per vendor is at the discretion and pre-approval of our committee.
  • Placement of the booths will be to enhance the overall show.

To boost the overall fair-like atmosphere, there will be music and entertainment throughout the day for families and kids to enjoy; door prizes; plus food available at the Sooke Lions concession outside.

On top of it all, your participation in Sookarama supports the Sooke Lions Club and our community projects. Thank you!

Start planning now for this opportunity to expand community awareness of your business.
