(Note: If you require 220volts for a large appliance, i.e. fry-o-later, you must use a generator and it must be contained within your space.) Sharing of generators between neighboring sites is the liability and at the discretion of the generator owner. We recommend the use of whisper–type generators to decrease noise levels at the event. Sailfest cannot guarantee neighboring sites placement for this purpose.

You are to use only ONE multi-plug strip, all extensions cords must be plugged into that one strip. Electricity is for booth lighting and cash registers only. You must use a generator for any other electrical needs. Sailfest has the right to decrease amount of wattage used from CL&P by any vendor at anytime. CL&P electricity may not be shared between sites. Spots with power are limited so requests may be denied and fees returned at the discretion of Sailfest. You may not request electricity on day of check in or during event. For public safety and accessibility compliance, power cords MAY NOT EVER cross public walkways or streets.
