“I am involved with approximately 24-30 festivals per year. Music, arts & crafts, sports etc. I want to commend you on the great job you do of communicating and organizing this event! The majority of the time I receive a letter or phone call only days, 2-3 before the event. It is so nice and professional that you are organized and detailed as well as courteous to the vendors! Thank you so much for exceeding expect ions and representing Martinsville -Henry County in the best way possible.”

FAQ
Q. May I select my booth location?A. Please let us know your preferences over location and and we will try our best to accommodate your needs.
Q. How do I know where my booth is?A. The week prior to the festival a final map and list of vendor booth numbers will be sent via email to registered vendors.
Q. Is there power on-site?A. No, but generators are welcome. Our planning team strives to place booths with generators around the perimeter of the festival grounds to reduce noise level, out of respect to other vendors.
Q. Are Dogs Allowed?A. Yes, we welcome friendly, healthy and well-behaved dogs that are on leashes. You can take your furry friend on a walk at the new Paw Path and shop for pet supplies from vendors onsite. We do ask that you be considerate by not walking dogs near the petting zoo area.
