2027 Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival

Priority for acceptance to the SVFF (and space assignment) is given to 2026 Returning Vendors, provided applications are received within the listed deadlines. The SVFF Board will jury applicants, including Returning Vendors who did not participate in 2026, before acceptance. Photos MUST be submitted of a representation of the goods you plan to sell. Ideally, include a photo of your booth display from another festival. Acceptance will mainly depend on available space and the diversity of products offered compared to existing vendors. Vendors must sell products that support the fiber arts. Please also tell us what other shows you plan to attend as a vendor, and booth location, if known. New Approved Vendors will likely be placed in outdoor, uncovered spaces. Please do not apply to the festival if you are not prepared to bring/rent a tent for your space. In some cases, we can place you in a covered barn/pavilion.

Deadlines:

• March 15, 2027: returning 2026 Vendors who wish to reserve the same spot as 2026.
• Application closes: September 24, 2027 (may remain open for food vendors, or as space allows for new fiber arts vendors)
• June 15, 2027: Vendors for 2027 selected (barring last-minute vendor emergencies and additional food vendors)
• Deadline to pay invoices: 14 days from the invoice date. All payment must be made via Eventeny.
• September 1, 2027: Ad copy deadline

Spaces are each 10'x10'. Prices for each location are as follows (not including Stripe fees): Outdoor (BYO-Tent) - $110, Covered Barn/Pavilion - $130, Indoor Building - $155. Please refer to the 2025 map to see our space arrangement: https://www.eventeny.com/events/map/?id=3740&mid=4970

*Vendors who canceled for 2026 due to emergencies - depending on your specifications, your spaces may have been held for you for 2027, but you MUST meet the above deadlines. Vendors who took over canceled spaces have the right of first refusal on those spaces if they are not taken back. Vendors who took over canceled spaces in 2026 and do not get to keep those spaces are at the top of the waiting list for those types of spaces in 2027. This is called the First Priority Scenario.
 
**Returning Vendors who request a new space - these waitlists are first-come, first-served with some limitations, so please do not wait to apply! We note the date and time of your application.
Second Priority Scenario - waitlist to a different area:
To go outdoors - expected to be able to do this in most, if not all, cases.
To go to a covered barn/pavilion - this can often happen.
To go indoors - rare, but it does happen! These would likely be assigned as single space only.
 
Third Priority Scenario - waitlist to expand current spaces:
Outdoors - expected to be able to do this in most, if not all cases.
Covered barn/pavilion - this can often happen, but possibly in a different location/barn/pavilion.
Indoor spaces - this is VERY RARE.
