Craft, Craft/Commercial and Commercial Vendors

Craft, commercial, craft/commercial and Celtic vendors are important facets of the festival’s success. We have requests coming in already for our limited number of vendor spaces and hope you will consider participating.

All vendor spaces measure 10 ft. x 12 ft. Vendors have access to electricity and will be under roof, unless an outdoor tent space is preferable. In that case, the vendor must supply his or her own tent or canopy. Vendors may camp at the fairgrounds the Friday night prior to the event and/or the Saturday night of the event at no charge.

Fees Per Space
Craft Vendor $65 ($75 if the application and fees are received after May 25)
Commercial Vendor $130 ($140 if the application and fees are received after May 25)
Craft/Commercial Vendor* $100 ($110 if the application and fees are received after May 25)

*You are a craft/commercial vendor if, as a craft vendor, you also offer commercial products.

 

Included in the fee are your space and two vouchers for entry to the Festival on Saturday at the Garrett County Fairgrounds on Route 219 in McHenry ( Deep Creek Lake), Maryland. You will be sent an e-mail verifying that you have two entrance vouchers. Please print the e-mail and bring it with you to show at the ticket both at the entrance to the fairgrounds (Vouchers for vendors without e-mail addresses will be mailed). As in years past, parking is free. Tables and chairs are available for a rental fee as noted on the application.

To ensure your space, please complete an application and return it
together with the appropriate fee as soon as possible. Spaces are
allocated based on a variety of criteria, however, the order in which
we receive the paid applications is of greatest importance.
We make
every attempt to ensure that duplication of vendor offerings will be held
to a minimum. .

It may take a moment for the application form to load.

Vendors whose applications are denied will be notified as soon as
possible. If your vendor application is accepted, details regarding
set-up and your complimentary admission vouchers to the
Saturday festival will be sent/e-mailed by May 15. No refunds
will be made after May 15.

The Board reserves the right to reject applications for any of
the following reasons: late entries, duplication of art and/or
crafts, appropriateness of the art or craft, issues regarding
display, or any other reason the Board deems applicable.

Information regarding lodging close to the fairgrounds is available
through the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce website or by calling the
Chamber at 301-387-4386.
