What kinds of goods can I sell?We welcome handmade crafts, Renaissance-themed clothing, accessories, collectibles, and more. If it celebrates the Renaissance spirit, it’s a great fit!
-
What are the design requirements for a permanent booth?Booths should reflect the Renaissance theme and complement the festival’s atmosphere. Creativity is encouraged, but all designs must be approved to ensure they meet festival standards and safety guidelines. Think timber-framed facades, thatched or shingled roofs, and decorative details that match the spirit of the era.
-
Where can I add my FAQs?FAQs can be added to any page on your site or to your Wix mobile app, giving access to members on the go.
-
What is the vendor application process?Start by completing the vendor application form. Our team will review your application and reach out for further discussions.
-
Will Camping be available?Yes- Dragonstone Springs has 25 Acres of Festival Space and 15 Acres for Camping. This Camping will be for Vendors and Entertainers. Camp in most cases will be primitive without Electric. A place does exist for parking campers but currently we do not have sewer connections for them.
-
What if I can not make all 6 Weekends?We offer Weekend spots as well as locations for the full season. If things change and you are unable to make a weekend, please notify us as soon as possible vendor@arrenfest.com
-
Can I sell food or beverages?Yes, but selling food or beverages comes with additional health and safety regulations. Vendors interested in selling consumables should indicate this on their application and be prepared to meet all health department requirements. We’ll work closely with you to ensure compliance and a smooth process.
-
What drinks can be sold at a vendor's location?Under no circumstances is any vendor allowed to sell bottled drinks, including water. If the vendor wishes to purchase branded bottles of water from the festival to resell, this can be done, but the price will be the same as what we sell to customers, and it will simply be a convenience item.
-
What are the weekly vendor fees?Vendor fees will start at $150/weekend for Viking and Highland Games and $220/weekend for Renaissance Festival. Discounts may be available for vendors booking all three shows or an entire season of the festival and will be assessed after the jury process is completed.
