Unlike many events that charge up to $200 for a vendor spot, we simply want you here — no fee required! Our heart is to create a celebration where our community, our vendors, and our guests all thrive together.

We want to promote participating vendors on our social media channels leading up to the event, and we hope you’ll come ready to share your best with Harrisonburg on this historic night.
