Vendors + Showcase
Vendor applications for the 2024 Fire Cured Festival are open NOW.
We are accepting applications for food vendors, makers, artists, farmers, crafters, bakers and more. Vendor space is limited. A completed application does not equal acceptance into the event. We use a juried selection process to ensure we have a diverse lineup of vendors.
Deadline to apply is August 9, 2024.
TRACTOR SHOWCASE
We will also be hosting a tractor showcase! We invite you to bring your best tractor for display at the event. Polish up the hood, crank up the engine, and be ready to show off your favorite tractor’s best side for event goers. Tractors do not need to be operational but must be parked on the grass – no tractors on trailers please. Space is available first come, first serve. Pre-registration required. No fee to participate. Tractor setup will take place on Friday, August 23, 2024.
