Vendor Eligibility

Please note: Acceptance of an application is not acceptance into the festival. Applications will be reviewed for acceptance and notification of acceptance/non-acceptance will be given via email/phone.

There is a greater preference for independent original handmade artists, crafters, growers, and small food companies. All products sold must be original to the artist. Massed produced items or resale items (ex. Avon, Chloe & Isabel, items bought overseas already assembled, store-bought merchandise, art posters not original to the artist selling, etc. are not permitted. (Please register for TFP SBE instead.) If you repurpose items, you must show how the items are significantly different from its original form. If you are not accepted, it may be due to an overabundance of artists in a category, missing parts on an application, or not having a clear focus of products. Having a website or Etsy shop is a good sign of professionalism and gives us more insight into who you are as an artist. If during the application process you decide to change what you would like to sell, please send us an email, text or call so that we may sign off on your new items. Inspectors will be going from booth to booth throughout the festival to make sure all vendors are in compliance with festival rules. Please do not pay before receiving your acceptance confirmation. If you have any questions concerning how to join, please call, text or email us.
