cash app: $GOREgousGirls
Venmo: eRockGG

Welcome vendors, artists, cosplayers, film makers, content creators, and everyone who loves horror and pop culture. Come join us June 5-7,2026. We currently have 2 types of booths available, outlined below. This is not our first time working a con on the island. In 2018 we were a part of "Put In Play Con" that unfortunately was not renewed for a second year due to the owners focusing on their start up of Bash on the Bay. In 2025 we had our first I🫀GORE Fest without out celebrities, other than the GOREgous Girls. Our 2026 celebrity guests so far include Leonora Scelfo (Scream 1996) & Michelle Santiago (Terrifier 2).

Vendors we ask that you do not sell any firearms or anything prohibited by law. Please no completely Ai generated material. We understand that some use of it (similar to photoshop) may be needed but please stay as true to the art as possible. We are not looking for food truck vendors at this time.

⛴️Ferries are the most common ways to get you on the island. Most of our crew will be using Miller Ferries but you can use Jet express too. When setting our booth prices we factored in that you guys will have these expenses so we set them low. The ferry prices vary but you can find their links, on our main link, that'll direct you too which ever ferry you choose. Plan on spending approximately $78 round trip for 2 people and vehicle. A trailer cost extra (depending on size) but will be approximately $120 for 2 people, vehicle and trailer. You do not have to take a vehicle over but we know most of you will need too for your booth set ups and supplies. The process is pretty easy to get on the ferry and is first come first serve for vehicles. The earlier you get there Friday morning, the better. We suggest that you come on Thursday (or earlier) so you beat the rush and can check out the island more, especially if you've never been before.
⛴️ Miller Ferry: Save $2 OFF Adult Round Trip (regular $18). You must provide a printed or digital copy of our coupon. There is no discount for vehicles.

🛺Golf Cart and island travel:
Golf carts are the best way to get around on the island once you're there. Otherwise most things are within walking distance around town. You can take shuttle buses for $3 per person from the miller ferry to the bus hub near Downtown and walk from there.
