District Frights drink cups will be sold for $5 each at our participating food/drink vendors and at the info booth.

Please keep in mind this festival is for fun and is not associated with any Wiccan practices or rituals.

1. We suggest previewing what questions are on the application and then crafting your responses in a document you can copy and paste from.  This way you will not lose your information if you are interrupted or the system times out.  Additionally, if you are interested in applying as a vendor to our sister event, A Wizard's Birthday, on July 26, you can copy and paste into that application too.
2. Gather your photos in advance, you will need at least 5 product photos and one business logo.
3. Choose the best photos possible! These are a large portion of what we base our decision on when jurying your application.  Additionally, these are the photos that may be used in promotion of the event and your business.
4. Please do not send screenshots of products.  These photos are not useable.

What's your story?  Tell us all about your business.

The following description will be used to jury your application.  If accepted it will be used to describe your products on social media when the event is promoted.

Please upload a high quality image of your products.  These will be used for social media to promote the event.

Business logos are not required but it is more difficult for the festival to advertise for you and therefore less likely to happen.

*Indicating you would like an indoor booth does not guarantee we can accommodate your request.
