Be A Part of the Festival
We welcome you to join the 32nd Madison Street Festival. An annual event that hosts over 250 vendor booths, Entertainment Stages, a Parade, a Car Show, Special Events, Children's Area, and a juried art section know as "Artist Alley".
Our vendor booths include art and craftsmen, food, non-profit organizations, local businesses, and club exhibits. All items sold at the event, with the exception of non-profit promotional items, must be handmade. Businesses are welcome to join us and showcase their products or services, but they cannot directly sell on-site.
Entertainers generously donate their time and talents for our event. We do allow for our musical performers to sell their CD's during their designated performance times.
A parade kicks-off the event each year. Approximately one mile in length, winding through downtown, it is the perfect distance for our younger participants to join in too! We also have several special sections, including the the "Tail End" of the Parade for our canines and their companions, and the "Little Engine that Could" section for our younger participants. Awards are presented during Opening Ceremonies to the top entries.
Food and Beverage Vendors
Coca-Cola is the exclusive soft drink, sports drink (Powerade), and bottled water (Dasani) sponsor of the Madison Street Festival. Vendors must agree to only sell Coca-Cola product lines, outside of coffee, lemonade, tea, fruit flavored slushy or smoothie drinks.
Booth Package Option
To help make set-up and tear-down of vendor booths more convenient for our participants, we offer a Madison Street Festival Booth Package. This includes one (1) 10x10 tent, one (1) 8 ft table, and two (2) folding chairs. Tents will be erected and table and chairs in place before your arrival the morning of the festival. At 4pm, you can pack your personal items and not have to worry about dismantling or carrying heavy, bulky tents, tables, and chairs away. See Vendor Application to register for this option.
Advertising Option
Vendors have the opportunity to generate additional recognition and/or foot traffic to their booth by advertising in the Madison Street Festival Program. As more than 13,000 visitors enter the festival, they are provided a festival program listing the events, performance times, maps, etc. See Vendor Application for rates and purchasing options.
