If you cannot set up for the full 4 days, please let me know on your application, and your vendor spots will be adjusted accordingly.

If you are interested in renting a space for this year’s Festival, please complete the application and return it with full payment by June 30th. We will not hold spaces if not paid in full. We will rent the space to someone on our waiting list. Your cancelled check is your receipt/confirmation. Every effort will be made to give returning vendors the same spot as previous years, but we do reserve the right to make changes a necessary.

Set up will be after 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 4th. Due to the limited space, canopies will be allowed on the street where the tent is located. No camping behind your canopy is allowed on the main street. All others will be set up on the grassy lot and on the street one block south of the tent. These locations may be subject to change.

We reserve the right to be the exclusive seller of all items that state Boyne Falls in reference to the Polish Festival. Due to our contract with the carnival, no food or drinks can be sold by vendors.
