Calling all community groups and non-profits! Penn Fest is your opportunity to promote your mission, attract new supporters or simply get the word out about your organization or cause. With thousands of people attending, it's your chance to meet neighbors who'd like to know about your organization.

One bit of advice. We'd like you to plan an activity to help engage the public. We require this for your benefit. Experience shows exhibitors who just sit by a table with a pile of brochures get little attention. Plan some type of activity that will help engage the public and drawn people to your booth. It doesn't have to be an elaborate activity, but creativity is encouraged. Application is for a single booth that is 10 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Please inquire with us if you need additional space.

Deadline: Sep 11, 2026

With a track record of bringing in thousands of people, Penn Fest puts you face to face with people who need to know about your product or service.

This registration category is limited to small home-based businesses.

Penn Fest attracts thousands of hungry people looking for good eats. If you're a food vendor, Penn Fest is the place to be.

Because food is such a big attraction at Penn Fest, we work hard to promote our food vendors via social media and online.
