What is Fall Fest?
Fall Fest is a festival that allows businesses to introduce their product or service to the University community. Fall Fest is coordinated by the Lake Superior Community Partnership and the NMU Center for Student Enrichment.
 
Location
The Fall Fest location will be at the Northern Center Lawn this year. Directions will be emailed closer to the event.

Early Set Up
Setup for businesses and nonprofits will be from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Early setup will ensure your booth is ready for students by the beginning of the event, potentially allowing you to get a good parking spot and work out any kinks you may experience!  

If you will have a large vehicle in your event space, please reach out to the LSCP prior to registration so we can coordinate with NMU/Public Safety.
Parking: Parking is limited to one car per business as parking is limited and not guaranteed. A parking map and pass will be sent to the register's email a week before the event. 


Booth Space Details 
Participating businesses and organizations will have a 'booth' space with an 8-foot table and two chairs. All booth spaces will have access to electricity. Please bring your own extension cord. In addition, businesses may set up a canopy/tent.  Tents/canopies cannot exceed 10x10 ft. Food samples are encouraged. Purchasing of sales is not allowed. 
 
Pepsi Beverage Company is the exclusive beverage provider on the campus of Northern Michigan University; all beverages distributed, marketed, and/or advertised at Fall Fest must be from the Pepsi Beverage Company.

Are you hiring? Let us know in the registration so that we can create a "We're hiring" sign for your booth!
