Note: *Food vendors assigned to Church Commons; lot sizes will depend on space needed. #For electricity, must bring own 100-foot, heavy duty, 12-gauge extension cord and method to render safe for foot traffic. Corner lots and those with access to electricity assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. **Vendor shuttle service will be available, along with daytime/overnight parking at Machias Memorial High School. This parking lot can accommodate recreational vehicles or tenting, but there is no electricity or water. The dedicated shuttle service will run on Saturday and Sunday, only.
We expect vendors to stay for all the days they have registered. Vendor hours will be 9am-5pm on Friday and Saturday and 9am-3pm on Sunday. Out of courtesy to our festival guests, vendors who choose to leave before the end of these assigned hours may not be invited back another year.
We look forward to welcoming many of you back again this year. We also look forward to meeting new participants at this fun, family-friendly festival!
Warmly,
Ellen Farnsworth, Festival Director
