Be sure to read this entire page. Submission of your application represents acceptance of these terms.

This application does not apply to "craft" food vendors, such as jellies/jams, honey, seasonings, spices, freeze dried candy, and other pre-packaged items.

Food vendors may begin setting up at 8AM Friday, October 29th and must be fully setup with personal vehicles out of the event perimeter by 5PM.

Food vendors may operate for the Blocktoberfest event on Friday, October 30th from 6PM-11PM. This event is optional. If you decide to open for Blocktoberfest, it is up to you at what time you shut down. This will be a block party type event - there will be live music, and the Festival will be selling beer and soft drinks. Arts and Crafts vendors will not be open for this event, and the Festival will not be selling sausage. All food vendors must operate during the Festival on Saturday, October 31st until 5PM.

Submission is not a guarantee of acceptance into the event. Acceptance/rejection notices will be sent out by October 2, 2026. Once a vendor has been accepted, the payment method provided at the time of application submission will be charged accordingly. 

Any fees based upon payment method selected when submitting your application will be passed to you if your application is accepted (i.e., credit card processing charge, etc).

Your selected payment method will not be charged unless your application is approved, and then will be charged at the time of approval.

Be sure to read this entire page. Submission of your application represents acceptance of these terms.

All non-profit booth spaces are 10'x10' non-electric spaces and are located in designated non-profit vendor areas. These spaces have limited availability. Tents and tables are not provided. We are not responsible for any injuries, theft, accidents, or weather events.

Vendor/non-profit check in will be held Friday, October 30th from Noon-6pm at the gazebo with the blue metal roof in the Town Park. Vendors may not setup or begin to unload in any space until they have checked in. Once you have checked in, you are free to setup whenever you like and for however long you need, up until 8AM the day of the event. Vendors will not be checked in except for between the times listed. If you have not checked in by 6pm on Friday, October 30th, you will forfeit your space(s).

Applications are reviewed on a first come first served basis and are judged based on the merit of the application itself, mission of the organization, service area, and other criteria.
