​

How to Apply for a Booth

All those interested in being an Applefest Vendor must complete and submit the application below. This include returning vendors. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Booth space runs out every year, so early applications are encouraged. Once the vendor spaces have all be assigned we will not take any additional applications.

​

Vendor Selection

Applefest is a juried vendor festival. We feel a jury is an essential element to the success of a vibrant and enticing festival. Our jury consists of professional artists and craftspeople, art patrons and collectors, and local small business owners. Complete vendor applications are reviewed carefully taking into consideration the information provided in the application as well as the photographs submitted. Better descriptions and photos will help the Jury Committee better evaluate your application. Returning  vendors do not have to go through the initial Jury Committee as long as their products/offerings have not drastically changed, they must still submit a complete application.

 

Returning vendors are evaluated on their festival etiquette from the previous year, for example staff will consider whether a vendor kept their booth open for all festival hours, cleaned up their booth site, kept their vehicle off of Main Street and 5th street, etc. Staff will also be check to see if returning vendors submitted sales and paid sales tax, failure to do so automatically disqualifies a return vendor.

​

Space requests are not guaranteed. If you would like a booth in a specific block you may note that in your application. You may also note if there are other vendors that you would like to be neighbors with.

​

Applicants will be notified of the outcome of the jury process as soon as vendor selections have been made. Some vendors may also be put on a waitlist.
