Food and Beverage Vendors

Thank you for your interest in being a Food Vendor at the Liberty Antiques Festival. For more than 35 years, 
Liberty has been known for authentic antiques and collectables, trusted dealers, food vendors, and a strong 
community of collectors. As the festival’s new promotors, we remain committed to preserving the 
show’s reputation for quality, and we welcome your application to provide food and beverages for our dealers 
and customers.

The Liberty Antiques Festival is an outdoor event, so tents are suggested for inclement weather events and 
shade. Tents are priced separately. A list of tent and table vendors will be made 
available for dealers to secure needed tents and tables. Vendors can bring their own tents, but they must be 
securely installed.
