Where will my booth / truck be?
Vendors/Exhibitors will be located in the Elise Grecco Marketplace, along Church Avenue, within easy walking distance of multiple music stages located within two blocks. The Marketplace is an outdoor paved area; tents are required, and space is limited to 50 vendors. The mix of participants typically includes 50% artisans, 25% business exhibitors, and 25% non-profits. We intersperse arts and crafts vendors with food vendors to encourage the best flow and foot traffic for your booth. Electricity is available by order only for booth vendors located along Church Avenue—please indicate on your application if you would like to order electricity access. As this is a music festival, generators are not permitted. All booths will enjoy ambient music from nearby stages whil still allowing you to have comfortable conversations with customers.
