Last year, Falkenrath’s post stated, artisans and small business owners had paid between $450 and $550 for a 10-foot-by-10-foot booth at the festival. But Rosa Bandeirinha, the communications director for the Utah Pride Center, told The Tribune on Wednesday that last year’s booth prices ranged from $450 for nonprofits to $1,200 for businesses.
“And this is a very expensive festival to put up,” Bandeirinha continued. “So that’s part of why it’s also such a high-quality event that so many people get to enjoy.”
