The 56th Annual Ohio Sauerkraut Festival

Thank you for your interest in this year's Ohio Sauerkraut Festival!  Please review the information below before submitting your application.

We are a double juried festival, which means that your products must be approved by the jury committee before you are accepted and a booth can be assigned.  Once approved, a jury team will visit you during the festival to make sure that all items are handmade, and that they are the items you were approved for.

Please upload at least three photos representing you making your craft.  These photos should include your raw materials along with you making your craft so there is no doubt that your items are hand crafted.  We do not allow any manufactured or buy to resell items in your booth.  Please also send pictures of your finished product.   Only the items listed on this application are allowed into your booth during the festival.

You will be notified of the jury committee's decision through your Eventeny portal.  If accepted, there is a one-time processing fee along with your booth fee.  All booth spaces are sized 10x10, there are no exceptions, and double booths may be requested after you have been at the festival at least one year.  You must provide your own tent.

If accepted into the festival, arrangements must be made by you regarding accommodations and parking.  This is a separate cost.  We do have some local businesses listed in the vendor packet that rent parking space to festival vendors for the weekend.  The cost and arrangements are between you and the businesses directly.

All vendors must carry liability insurance of $1,000,000.  If you have insurance already, we only need a certificate of insurance showing coverage dates for the festival.  The Chamber should be named as an additional insured.  You are also able to purchase coverage for the festival weekend through Encover below. 

All vendors must have vehicles off the road by 7:00 am and be set up and ready to open by Saturday, October 10th, 2026 at 9:00am.
