Festivals of Cedarburg has moved all aspects of vendor management to Festival staff instead of co-opting with Cedar Creek Settlement, Cedarburg Art Museum and Cedarburg Cultural Center. What does this mean for vendors? Better communication, uniform forms, due dates and payment options. Festivals of Cedarburg will continue to collaborate with and make financial contributions to these art groups during the festivals. Vendors will no longer work with the individual art groups during the application or contracting process. PLEASE NOTE: CITY HALL LAWN VENDOR SPOTS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED.

We have moved from Jotform and requiring multiple forms for each event to Eventeny, an event management platform. Vendors must create an account in order to submit the application, but this step will save time filling out future forms. The benefit to this platform is that all your information is securely stored including payment information and can be used year to year.

Unfortunately due to overwhelming interest and space limitations, all food vendors and band/entertainers are currently welcome by invite only. We appreciate your interest in participating in our festivals.

Applicants are responsible for reading the qualifications for booth location Application fees are $20/festival and are non-refundable You MUST fill out separate applications for each festival. Unfortunately we can no longer have combination applications Booth and product photos, proof of insurance and Wisconsin Seller’s Permit are all required to submit your application ALL general applications are subject to a jury selection. Due to the limited number of booth spaces and the growing number of applications, the selection process has become very competitive. We do not have a wait-list.

Due to the changing nature of applications, we have expanded the qualifications to include artisans. PLEASE NOTE – applicants MUST have 100% handmade items, NO kits. Body products/food vendors are located on Turner Street only.

Please note we will try to accommodate your booth type selection, however it is possible you could be assigned to a different street location based on eligibility, availability and curation by festival staff. Please keep the following in mind concerning this issue: If your requested location will not work, we will not assign you to a higher price point. Only vendors who requested the Cedar Creek Park location will be placed there. If you would like the park as your second choice, please indicate so in the Special Requests section. You will have an opportunity to review your booth location and withdraw your application before May 1st when the credit card charges are scheduled.

Please be sure to read through the qualifications for being a vendor on Washington Avenue. ONLY those vendors who create handmade items (no kits, food or body products) qualify. If you choose Washington Avenue in the application but are not qualified your application will be rejected.

The Eventeny platform allows staff to place vendors as their contracts are submitted. Staff plan to have booth locations available on or before March 1, 2025. That said, this being a new format for both staff and vendors, there could be changes to that timeframe. Unfortunately there are no changes to booth placements and we ask that you do not contact staff or management with change requests.

Cedar Creek Park is an ever-growing, family-friendly hot spot, and Festivals staff have tried to curate vendor placement to reflect this. However, we know that not every vendor found success in the park, which is why we are giving vendors the choice to apply to be a park vendor. Staff will not automatically place vendors in the park. PLEASE NOTE – there is a chance you will not be accepted to be in the main footprint. If you would like the park location as a second choice, please indicate that in the “Special Request” section of the application.

Your card on file will automatically be charged on March 1 for Strawberry Festival 2025 and on May 1 for Wine & Harvest Festival 2025. No need to remember to submit additional payments.

Booth fees for Washington Avenue have not increased since 2015 with those spots being most sought-after of the festivals. Unfortunately, they are also the most limited with just 51 stay-up and 89 tear-down spots available. To keep up with the rising infrastructure costs Washington Avenue spaces are now $400 per 10x10 STAY-UP space and $275 per 10x10 TEAR-DOWN space.

Vendors are not required to stay on Washington Avenue. Turner Street is an additional artist/artisan designated marketplace location. The fees are $275 per 10x10 booth but have the added benefit of being a stay-up booth early Friday load-in

Vendors can cancel their contract and receive a refund if cancelled by the following dates May 1 for Strawberry Festivals Aug 1 for Wine & Harvest Festival
