The Forsythia Festival is a non-compete festival, meaning vendors may only sell items that have been approved by the Festival Committee.

Please note that local non-profit organizations and groups are given priority for selling minimal prep items such as hot dogs/corn dogs, funnel cakes, cotton candy, hamburgers, etc., before commercial vendors offering the same products are considered.
