Artisan Application

All Artisans – Apply Here!

Wondering what qualifies as an artisan product? Here’s a reference to what we’re looking for:

• Fine Art – pottery, paintings, prints, and more
• Wellness Products – handmade soaps, body care, herbal blends
• Prepackaged Goods – spices, teas, jams, and other shelf-stable treats
• Handcrafted Items – jewelry, home décor, textiles, and other creative works

Vendor Selection Criteria:

All applications for the Bands of Enchantment Music Festival are carefully reviewed by our team. We will prioritize vendors who:

• Provide complete and proper documentation (including proof of insurance, if applicable)

• Make products that are music related (since we are at a music festival!), Route 66 related, and/or are reasonability sized allowing guests to carry the items at the festival. 

To ensure a balanced lineup and avoid over-representing any one product category, we may limit the number of vendors selling items like ceramics, jewelry or similar offerings. Final selection and category limits are at the discretion of management.

Please review the following guidelines before submitting your application:

1. Booth Fee: A non-refundable $30.00 booth fee is required once accepted. Payment instructions will be provided upon approval.
