Prelude to the Fourth 2025

Prelude to the Fourth is seeking food vendors for all to enjoy as they experience the annual Prelude to the Fourth event hosted by the City of Lawrenceville.  

 

Prelude to the Fourth is one of three major events for the City of Lawrenceville hosted at the Lawrenceville Lawn. This event is from 5:00 PM - 10 PM; however, vendors will be loading Wednesday morning, and times are to be shared in the load-in information. All vendors must be prepared to greet the public at 4:30 PM.  Application approvals for this event will take place on a rolling timeframe and final decisions will be made after applications close.

 

If your application is approved, you will be charged 24-48 hours after being waitlisted.

 

Additional load-in information will be emailed on the Monday before the event.  Prelude to the Fourth is an event that features live music and entertainment throughout the day, so please be aware of that when preparing for the event.  If you would like to be considered as one of our vendors for this event, please fill out the application and wait for our Event Coordinators ' approval.

Volunteers will arrive at Prelude to assist the Events Team in various activities such as, but not limited to, load-in, check-in assistance, beautification, sanitization, and much more. Please join us this year, as we are in search of incredible volunteers to ensure a successful event in our community. Volunteers will receive T-shirts for their assistance, but sizes are limited. Volunteers must be registered in order to volunteer! To ensure safety, volunteers must adhere to guidelines placed by the city, guidelines which include the wearing of the mask at all times, temperature checks prior to the shift, & the proper use of gloves onsite.
