Vendor Application - AR Ren Fest
About the application
Join us for the 2026 Season of the AR Renaissance Festival. We will run the 6 weekends of September into October with opening day of Aug 29th. We are excited to host another season of immersive, period-themed fun and invite committed vendors to be part of this growing tradition.
We are building, operating, and maintaining a premier Permanent Renaissance Festival that will flourish for years to come. We seek vendors who share this commitment and are prepared to invest their time and resources to enrich this experience.
Expect a fully interactive day with street performances, stage shows, and a cast that includes vendors. We are all part of the cast! We strive to maintain an authentic period atmosphere and require all participants to wear period-appropriate costumes, hide modern items from view, and use historically influenced speech when interacting with customers.
We are a juried show and have a nonrefundable application
fee of $20.
Pricing depends on the linear frontage and location. Spots for The Renaissance Festival start at $146 a weekend with discounts for full run. Accepted vendors will receive a list of available spaces and corresponding prices.
