Budget estimate

$20,000 – $100,000

No contract amount is disclosed. Based on typical festival alcohol‑vendor contracts, revenue is derived from a percentage of sales or a flat fee plus a share of profits. Assuming a modest attendance of 2,000‑3,000 guests with average per‑person alcohol spend of $15‑$30, total sales could range $30,000‑$90,000. After costs and a typical vendor profit margin of 20‑30%, the vendor’s earnings might fall between $6,000 and $27,000. To allow for higher‑margin premium craft‑beer sales and possible flat‑fee components, a broader estimate of $20,000‑$100,000 is reasonable.
