This application is not for general local businesses

Middle Tennessee Highland Games is devoted to maintaining a creative, Celtic driven vendor marketplace. Therefore, we limit the number of promotional spaces at the event. Local businesses who intend to use space at the event for promotional purposes can be a part of Middle Tennessee Highland Games through sponsorship of the event. Please reach out to sponsorship@goodneighborfestivals.com if you are interested in sponsoring this event.

Please find a few examples below to help you identify what vendor type you are.

An artist is considered someone who personally handcrafts the items they will offer at the event. A local business is considered a locally owned and operated business. A corporate or franchised business is not considered a local business but can become an event sponsor. Non-profits must be a registered 501c3.

If you sell an assortment of items that are hand-crafted by different local artisans, you are considered a local artisan business. If you sell screen-printed items(whether the designs are created by you or not), you are considered a local artisan business. If you mold, wrap, or create unique pieces of jewelry by hand, you are considered an artist. If you concoct your own scent profiles and pour your own candles/wax melts, you are considered an artist.
