All sales by vendors are made directly to customers and vendors are responsible for all their own bookkeeping and sales tax collections and payments. Magic Bird Festivals requires that you provide your state and city tax numbers so that we are able to provide lists to the state and cities when requested.
The state of Arizona, County of Maricopa and each city or town sets their own sales tax rates subject to change from time to time.
While Magic Bird will assist you in keeping up to date on total sales tax for each venue, it is your responsibility as a business owner to know this information. Current sales tax rate totals are as follows: Litchfield Park City = 10.1% | Carefree = 10.3% | Cave Creek = 10.3% | Peoria = 9.1% | Surprise = 9.5% | Goodyear = 9.3%

Additional Vendor Information

All events receive major media advertising. Advertising and directional event signs are placed by Magic Bird Festivals as best allowed by very restrictive city and town codes.
Nearby or on site RV parking and camping is allowed at no extra charge at all venues EXCEPT NOT AT WIGWAM RESORT.
Wigwam Resort generally offers reduced room rates for participating vendors geared to time of season.
At outdoor event locations we highly recommend using a professional and sturdy tent canopy. You MUST have a professional weight system for that canopy and any loss of yours or someone else’s product and/or display equipment due to severe weather belongs to you.
Set up for most events this season will be early on the first morning of that event weekend, generally around 8am. Come prepared with hand carts, etc. for most expeditious and efficient set up and please, always be COURTEOUS TO YOUR FELLOW VENDORS.
Over night SECURITY is NOT PROVIDED at most event locations, although lock up at merchandise may be availalble. Call Magic Bird for details at 480.488.2014
