This year we have implemented some new procedures for vendor applications. It will be a two-step process including application and then invitation. The primary reason for this change is that we need to be able to limit the number of vendors selling very similar products. Please familiarize yourself with the process outlined below before submitting your application. Thank you!

Overview of new vendor procedures for 2024:

  • ALL applications must be submitted online.
  • Only fully completed applications will be considered for invitation to participate.
  • All vendor applications must include representative photos of each specific type of product you plan to sell or display at your booth. For example, you cannot list a vague “handcrafts” description and send a single photo of a crocheted blanket but then also expect to display wooden sculptures and beaded jewelry. You would need to also submit photos of a wooden sculpture and a piece of beaded jewelry.
  • Responses to accepted vendors will be sent within two business days.
  • If you are accepted, you will have 72 hours to complete your registration through the secure payment portal. You also have the option of dropping off a check to the church office during normal business hours. This does not extend the total amount of time allowed to submit payment.
  • Once payment is received, you will receive an official confirmation of your assigned vendor space.
  • NO VENDOR – regardless of their vendor history with the OPC Apple Festival – IS GUARANTEED ACCEPTANCE.

Check availability

Other updates:

  • Fewer available vendor spaces: We are reducing the total number of vendor spaces to alleviate some congestion on the walkways and throughout the park. As a result, many spaces have been re-numbered. Be sure to check carefully and download the updated 2024 vendor map to make sure you are requesting the space(s) you really want!!
  • ONLY products included in your application will be allowed to be displayed at the festival. This has always been a rule, but enforcement on the day of the festival has been somewhat lax and impractical in the past. This year we will have dedicated team members monitoring and you will be asked to remove any items that were not part of your approved application (which we will have on hand for reference). We want all of our vendors to have a successful day, and so we will not be inviting a bunch of vendors selling very similar products, nor allowing vendors to display unauthorized products.
  • All parts of your booth must be located within the confines of your 10×10 booth space. That includes your canopy, weights, ropes, tables, chairs and displays. Again, this has always been a rule, but it bears repeating. If you need more than a 10×10 footprint, you’ll need to rent two spaces.
  • No reserved non-profit area. We will still offer invitation to a limited number of non-profit organizations, but there will no longer be a reserved section exclusively for non-profits. All spaces will be open to all vendors and organizations, in accordance with the above-stated vendor procedures. Applications will be considered in the order received. If spaces are available, non-profits may be situated alongside commercial vendors if they wish to be.

  • Only one vendor from each direct sales company (ThirtyOne, Tupperware, etc.), personal service (hair braiding, face painting, etc.), or dedicated specialty cuisine type (ice cream, kettle corn, Mexican, seafood, etc.) will be accepted.
  • Vendors in certain popular categories will be limited. Applications will be considered in order received. Vendors selling projects that are already being offered by multiple other accepted vendors may not receive an invitation. If this occurs, we will add you to the waitlist.
  • This is an outdoor event. For the safety and comfort of our guests, only food vendors may have generators.
  • You are responsible to provide your own tables, chairs, change, etc. and to clean up your area upon departure. You are responsible for transporting your belongings from your vehicle to your booth space. Vehicles are not allowed to drive through the park. All paths inside the park are for foot traffic only. Please bring a hand cart or make arrangements for someone to assist you. We will attempt to have helpers available, but this is not guaranteed.
  • Fees are non-refundable. We are unable to issue refunds for any reason. In the case of severe weather, every attempt will be made to house a modified event inside Oxford Presbyterian Church.
  • Vendor updates will be sent via our group mailing system, so it is extremely important that you have added 
[email protected] to your contacts, your approved senders, and/or have white-listed this address.
  • Complete terms are stated in the vendor application. By submitting your application, you indicate you have carefully read and agree to these terms.
