Welcome to Mule Days 2026!

Thank you for your interest in participating as an Arts & Crafts Vendor at Mule Days, Thomaston's annual fall festival celebrating our agricultural heritage and history as the Mule Capital of the South.

Held at Greatest Generation Park on Saturday, October 17, 2026, Mule Days draws thousands of visitors from across the region for a full day of live entertainment, delicious food, family activities, agricultural demonstrations, and shopping with talented artisans and makers.

We are seeking vendors offering:

Handmade arts and crafts
Original artwork
Woodworking
Pottery
Jewelry
Home décor
Seasonal and holiday items
Handmade candles and soaps
Fiber arts and textiles
Specialty gifts
Locally made products
Other unique handcrafted goods

Our goal is to create a diverse marketplace that showcases creativity, craftsmanship, and small businesses while providing festival guests with a unique shopping experience. To provide the best shopping experience for our guests, commercially mass-produced merchandise, counterfeit items, and products that do not align with the family-friendly nature of the festival may not be accepted.

Up to 3-of-a-kind vendors will be accepted (for example, up to three wreath crafters). More that this will be waitlisted.
