Thank you for your interest in the Vidalia Arts and Crafts Show. It is a Sanctioned Event of the Vidalia Onion Festival. The dates of our 2024 show are April 27 & 28. Our goal is to present a variety of items, preferably handcrafted and unique booth presentations to the public. Please manually print the application, please ensure it is complete, signed, and dated then mail with payment by the deadline.
Registration Deadline: March 31, 2024.
The show will feature preferably handmade and crafted items. Merchandise based upon the copyright or trademark of others (NFL, Disney, etc.) is expressly forbidden. Items made from kits or patterns and imported crafts are not allowed.
Acceptance for vendors is determined by the following: three photos must be enclosed with full payment (your website or emailed photos are also accepted). The quality & workmanship of handcrafted items and limiting the number of vendors selling similar products are a consideration for this show. Decisions made by the show committee are final.
CONFIRMATION will be sent via email for returning Vendors who have their application with payment in by December 2nd, 2023.
