Vendor Application - AR Ren Fest

Join us for the 2025 Season of the AR Renaissance Festival. We will run the 6 weekends of September into October with opening day of Aug 30th.  We are excited to host another season of immersive, period-themed fun and invite committed vendors to be part of this growing tradition.

We are building, operating, and maintaining a premier Permanent Renaissance Festival that will flourish for years to come. We seek vendors who share this commitment and are prepared to invest their time and resources to enrich this experience.

Expect a fully interactive day with street performances, stage shows, and a cast that includes vendors. We are all part of the cast! We strive to maintain an authentic period atmosphere and require all participants to wear period-appropriate costumes, hide modern items from view, and use historically influenced speech when interacting with customers.

We are a juried show and have a nonrefundable application

fee of $20.

Pricing depends on the linear frontage and location. Spots for The Renaissance Festival start at $220 a weekend with discounts for full run. Accepted vendors will receive a list of available spaces and corresponding prices.

Products should align with the period, using materials available in the 16th century or earlier. We discourage imported or mass-produced items and encourage artisans to demonstrate their craft. Items should be unique, durable, well-crafted, and backed by the maker’s satisfaction guarantee.

Vendors must construct or set up their own selling area.
Submit an accurate rendering of your final design for approval, including materials, floor plan, and color scheme.
