Lots and lots of vendors, both individuals and businesses, will be showcasing their services and wares. The show, held on Walnut Street and Laws Street, begins bright and early at 9 am on Saturday and runs until around 5 pm. Vendor Update: Capacity reached for LulaRoe, Paparazzi, and Hemp products.
Food Court
The food court is a juried event and we take pride in offering diverse choices to our festival goers. Our food court cannot expand and we must limit our vendors for this reason. Additionally, food court fees are based upon the amount and type of menu options you wish to offer. The years’ previous vendors are invited back and spots available after the deadline are filled according to items needed in the food court. If you are interested in being considered, please provide detailed contact information, intended menu options, and a digital image of your set-up. Once we receive this information, we can make our determination. Please send the information to [email protected]
