About the application
Suwanee Fest is a two-day juried art show for handcrafted and handmade items only and a limited number of spaces for 501C3 Not-for-profit organizations. Read the Exhibitor Guidelines carefully before completing your application.
The Suwanee Fest committee will be accepting applications for participation in the September 19 & 20 event. Booth fees for this year's event will not be processed until after the July 4th holiday.
If we do not receive ALL materials by the application deadline, you will not be considered for Suwanee Fest.
The deadline for all applications was March 31 but we do have a few openings at this time. The application fee is not refundable ($35 fee), even if the event is canceled.
NON-PROFIT BOOTHS SHOULD:
- Include an interactive activity for festival attendees!
- Educate attendees about your non-profit!
- Set up an attractive and engaging display to make attendees want to come to your booth!
- Engage with the community and build relationships - recruit volunteers, find people who need your services, raise money, or sell items that benefit the organization (but sold items will require approval and need to fall within the festival guidelines).
- Have fun and follow the festival theme! This year is Jurassic Park-themed!
NON-PROFIT BOOTHS SHOULD NOT:
- Sell food or drinks that can be purchased from food vendors.
- Have activities that other vendors will be providing for a fee (like face painting, free water, sand art, popcorn, or other food besides small candy items).
- Sell items that are not from the non-profit or about the non-profit.
- Allow others to sell from the non-profit tent.
- Sublease vendor space to another vendor.
- Give away food, water, or other goods that would be sold at the event.
