Scam Alert!

We put on a lot of events here at the City of Gadsden, so if you're looking to get involved with one as a vendor, please take care to make sure you avoid scams.

The City of Gadsden does not accept payments through cash apps, Messenger or other similar platforms, and you should not send payments that way.

Smoke on the Falls is owned and operated by the City of Gadsden. If you have any questions or are approached by someone claiming to represent Smoke on the Falls or the City of Gadsden, please contact us directly at jtarrance@ cityofgadsden.com or vgalbreath@ cityofgadsden.com.

For vendor inquiries, the City of Gadsden Special Events Department will always reach out via phone or email. We provide detailed information and applications to potential vendors for upcoming events.

Before any fees are collected, we require vendors to submit photos of their set-up and the items they will be selling for approval.

Once approved, payment will be processed through our Event Services Members, either over the phone, through the RecDeck Platform, or in person at our office.

Please be cautious and beware of scammers!
