Designed for registered nonprofits, civic organizations, and community groups.

THE NONPROFIT PATH — $50

$50 vendor fee PLUS a community contribution at your booth (GIVE, TEACH, or DO). This reduced rate keeps cost from being a barrier while making sure every booth contributes value to the festival experience.

THE COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION (Pick ONE)

- GIVE — a free resource or giveaway (books, hygiene kits, supplies, samples)

- TEACH — an educational moment (financial literacy, flag education, water safety, gardening)

- DO — an interactive activity (blood pressure checks, kids crafts, kindness rocks, demonstrations)

Most nonprofits already do one of these every day. Just bring it to the festival.
