All vendors must be checked in prior to 10:00 AM on Saturday, June 6th. Late check-in will not be accepted.
To ensure a smooth and successful event, we ask that all vendors assist our staff by following these setup and teardown guidelines. While Friday setup is highly encouraged, those arriving on Saturday may begin at 8:00 AM and must be fully operational by 10:00 AM. To maintain a consistent experience for our guests, booths must remain open for the entire duration of the festival; early teardowns are strictly prohibited. Additionally, for the safety of all attendees, driving through the park is not permitted until 4:00 PM on Sunday. Please note that previous year’s booth locations are not guaranteed.

Please know that although you may be a local vendor or have participated in years past, we cannot guarantee that your application will be accepted. Any request to sell imported or retail items will be reviewed and left to the discretion of the committee regarding acceptance. Second-hand or yard sale-type items will not be accepted. Approved or denied applications will be communicated accordingly.
