FESTIVAL COSTS: Application Fees (non-refundable): $55 until 1/3/27 | $65 1/4/27 - 1/17/27
BOOTH FEES: A New, Fairer Booth Pricing Structure for 2027 For 2027, we are replacing the previous block reservation system with a new Premium, Standard, and Value booth pricing structure that recognizes the reality that not every Festival location experiences the same level of patron traffic. Rather than paying an additional fee to reserve a particular block, you can now choose the booth category and price point that makes the most sense for your artwork, sales expectations, and budget. You are welcome to request a preferred block or location on your application, and we will do our best to accommodate those requests within the booth category you select; however, specific block and booth placements cannot be guaranteed. Our goal is to create a system that is more transparent, equitable, and flexible while continuing to thoughtfully place artists throughout the Festival.
- Premium Booth (Booths 600-630 & 900-944): $875 (10'x10' inline) | $1000 (10'x10' Corner) | $1300 (10'x15' Inline) | $1500 (10'x15' Corner) | $1750 (10'x20' Inline Corner) | $1875 (10'x20' Corner)
- Standard Booth (Booths in 200, 300, 400, 500, 700-710, 800-814, 945-953): $675 (10'x10' inline) | $800 (10'x10' Corner) | $1000 (10'x15') | $1300 (10'x15' Corner) | $1550 (10'x20' Inline Corner) | $1675 (10'x20' Corner)
