Thunder By The Bay is organized by Suncoast Charities for Children and is our biggest fundraiser of the year. In fairness to the local non-profit agencies we currently support, and with limited vendor space, we are unable to accept vendor applications from other non-profit organizations at this time. Exceptions will be considered for a limited number of veteran organizations and motorcycle clubs. We appreciate your understanding, as we know there are so many wonderful charitable organizations doing great work in our community.
Please note – Food vendor applications are not yet available at this time.
For questions or concerns on food vending, please reach out to Marcia Houser our food court manager at:
*Please note that camping is handled directly by the Sarasota Fairgrounds (venue), not Suncoast Charities for Children (Festival Organizer). Should you have any camping questions, please direct them to Katie at:
Campers will be placed based upon arrival to the fairgrounds, not in the order of which the applications were received.
