Albuquerque Pagan Pride Day
10 AM - 5 PM, Bataan Park (north side of Lomas just west of Carlisle)

Warm Greetings and Welcome

A heartfelt welcome to the 2025 Albuquerque Pagan Pride Day! We are thrilled to have you join us and sincerely appreciate your support. Our event offers Pagan Merchants a wonderful opportunity to showcase their unique goods to an enthusiastic audience of 800-1000 people, all within a focused and appreciative community.

​

​As an all-volunteer, non-profit event, we prioritize those who share our values of community and togetherness. We always welcome suggestions for improvement and would love to hear any feedback you may have. Our goal is to celebrate the vibrant heart of our community, and we eagerly look forward to embracing you as part of the PPD family.

​

Code of Conduct​

This year we have implemented an event wide Code of Conduct (CoC). At the end of your application, you will be asked to agree that you and your business agree to uphold the CoC while participating with ABQPPD 2025:

Agree to maintain an environment that is safe, age-appropriate, and consensual: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Agree to respect boundaries and comfort levels of self and others. Not every person will be completely comfortable at all times, but no one will at any time be required to participate in any given practice that is felt unsuitable by the individual.

Agree to treat each other with respect and compassion. Agree to communicate as clearly, accurately, and honestly as possible, and to listen with respect, courtesy, and a positive attitude to the communication of others.

 

Agree to abide by city, county, state, and federal laws and regulations, including park regulations and regulations for vendors in public spaces.

Agree not to sell, promote, or display, in your booth or on your person, merchandise, decorations, paraphernalia, or symbols associated with Nazi ideology, racism, white supremacy, homophobia, or transphobia.

 

Agree to be a positive expression of Paganism and ABQPPD.

Merchant Guidelines

This year, the Merchant application process is evolving to better serve our beloved community. Approximately 40 merchant booth spots will be available. Our event is a beautiful mosaic of Pagan traditions, and while merchants enrich our experience with their delightful offerings, we want to ensure the core of our gathering remains centered on spirituality.

​

​Merchants are vital to Albuquerque Pagan Pride Day, funding a significant portion of our event and enhancing its vibrancy. To ensure a balanced selection, we are using a jury process led by our merchant coordinator and reviewed by the PPD team. The deadline for applications, payments, and submission of business licenses is August 15, 2025. To be considered, please complete the application, submit the required fee, and provide a copy of your Albuquerque city business license.

​

​Selection criteria will include the completeness of the application, types of merchandise, and general reputation. Priority will be given to unique or original handmade goods or services, not counterfeit and preferably not AI-generated, to ensure a diversity of products. All merchants will be notified by August 25, 2025, and any unaccepted applications will receive a full refund by this date.

​

Our 2025 PPD Merchant coordinator, Samantha Campos will oversee these guidelines and address any concerns. For questions, you can reach Samantha at sammygal5150@gmail.com or 505-604-0622.

​Merchant spaces are 10 ft x10 ft, with a limited number of double booth spots available for the cost of two single spots. Merchants may use up to five feet behind their booth for extra storage. Sales should occur from the front side of the booth to meet city regulations. Merchants can start setting up at 7:00 am, and we ask that all booths be ready by 9:30 am for the event opening at 10:00 am and remain until its end at 5:00 pm.

​

Food Pantry Donation

​Aligned with The Pagan Pride Project's mission to educate the public about Paganism, vending should complement, not overshadow, our free cultural and religious activities. We kindly ask everyone to bring a non-perishable food item or cash donation to support the First Unitarian Church Food Bank. If you promote this event with your own materials, please include the request for a food pantry donation for each person attending.

​

​Raffle Donation

We also require merchants to contribute to the spirit of our event by donating a quality item for our raffle.

​

Altar Contest (Optional)

Engage attendees by creating an altar or fun display! Join our Altar Contest for a chance to win prizes. Participation is voluntary. To enter, please send your name and business name to abqpaganpride@gmail.com with "altar contest" in the subject line.

 

Refund Policy

We deeply appreciate your participation and support for our event. If you are not selected for the event after you have paid your fee, you will receive a full refund. If you need to withdraw, please let us know as soon as possible, and no later than two weeks before the event, to qualify for a refund. If you have an emergency situation arise after September 14, contact the vendor coordinator Samantha Campos at 505-604-0622 as soon as possible.
