The Clayton Business and Community Association invites you to apply to participate in the 18th annual Clayton Oktoberfest, drawing an estimated attendance of 20,000+. This event has been a huge success, with most of our vendors coming back year after year. Clayton is a unique, friendly and historic city, nestled at the base of Mount Diablo. It is located approximately 7 miles from Walnut Creek.
We plan to feature up to 10 booths in Food Court, approximately 50 Street Vendors, as well as German beers in our authentic Biergarten. A continental breakfast will be served each morning to vendors. Security will be provided on Saturday night.

Exhibitors are to have their booth set up by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. All cars are to be off the street by 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. Booths are not to be dismantled before 6:00 p.m. Sunday. Cars are not allowed back on the street until your booth is totally dismantled and the street is cleared by the police. This will facilitate a faster exit at the end of the show.
