New This Year – We are adding an Artist Alley with table spaces as an option for artists who do not have a 10×10 booth display system or have smaller inventories. The Artist Alley will be located on the northeast wall under the eave of the Multi-Use building roof. Otherwise the application process is the same as last year. The booth fees are tiered, so apply early to get lower fees.
