Disclaimers

Please read through the below information, and type "I agree" to submit application. Applications without this will not be considered. We receive hundreds of inquiries that our team spends many hours going through, and there are a limited number of spots available. We maintain vendor exclusivity to ensure a high quality show for guests and vendors. If another vendor already signed up has the same products, you may be declined for this reason, or we may ask you not to bring specific items. We encourage you to reach out for future events. Only local, Nebraska based businesses are accepted, no direct sellers/sales reps, or third party products. Vendors are required to participate both days of the festival. Application submission does not guarantee approval. All vendor applications will be reviewed, and if approved, vendors will be contacted to sign a contract. The artisan and craft vendor fee for the spring is $415, the food vendor fee is $350. Payment is due immediately to secure space. Vendor has 3 business days from approval to submit payment and signed contract to secure space. If contract and payment is not received within this timeframe, vendor will need to resubmit application.
