Augusta is one of our most sought-after locations, with vendor categories regularly filling up nearly a YEAR in advance!
Following the incredible success of our 2026 event, we're making some important changes for 2027 to create an even stronger opportunity for our vendors.
🔥 FEWER VENDORS, MORE OPPORTUNITY!
We're returning to the SAME downtown Augusta location, but with a more exclusive, carefully curated vendor lineup.
✅ Reduced Vendor Count: We're intentionally accepting fewer vendors to help increase sales opportunities for participating businesses.
✅ STRICT Category Limitations: We're significantly limiting competing products and similar menus to help vendors stand out and maximize their earning potential.
✅ VERY Limited Craft Spaces: Handmade and specialty retail vendors will have significantly fewer openings this year. These spaces are expected to fill quickly!
✅ NO Freedom Bridge: The 2027 layout will not include Freedom Bridge. We're concentrating our festival footprint to create a more cohesive shopping and dining experience.
✅ More Curated Experience: Our focus is on quality, variety, vendor visibility, and creating the strongest possible sales environment.
⚠️ DO NOT WAIT TO APPLY! Augusta historically books far ahead of the event, and with fewer available spaces and tighter category restrictions for 2027, we expect many categories to close even earlier.
Our goal is simple: Fewer vendors competing for the same customers, a stronger festival experience, and greater earning potential for the businesses we select.
Applications are reviewed by category, and space is not guaranteed until approved. Payment secures the space.
If Augusta is on your 2027 calendar, get your application submitted NOW!
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and may close at any time once capacity is reached. Categories routinely fill before the listed deadline.
Welcome to the event! Browse through our applications and let us know if you have any questions. This is an electronic agreement and by selecting the booths, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically.
