The jury date is March 15th. If your merchant packet has not arrived by that date you will be put onto a waiting list. The waiting list will be juried on April 1st. Items will be judged by the following criteria, the first being most acceptable and the last being least acceptable. All participants are required to be in costume from 45 minutes before the gate opens to one half hour after the gate closes on Festival days.
Participants supply their own pre-approved costumes.
This includes shoes and accessories. All participants will work to develop a minimum standard in dialect, dress, decorum and booth display. A festival costume guide is available to accepted participants. Food vendors that need assistance with costuming should contact the festival at least one month in advance. There are two separate fee schedules.
