Vendor Booth Fees are for the Saturday portion of the festival only. Vendors are required to participate for the full time of the festival hours, due to the road closure and safety guidelines. Vendors who do not comply will not be accepted for the next festival. ALL vendors applying, both new and returning, will be “juried” to uphold the integrity of the Fall Festival, ensuring that products are handmade and of your own creation and to ensure the even distribution of category type. Even if you were previously accepted into the Fall Festival as a vendor, you will be asked to submit 3 product photos and a list of the main items, crafts or products that you sell. This will also help us place booths accordingly.
The Fall Festival Committee and Randolph Arts Council Board of Directors has full discretion to deny entry to any applicant. Resellers and “direct sellers” such as Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Avon ect. will not be accepted as vendors for the festival. Once your application has been approved, you will be notified via email to submit your booth payment by calling 336.629.0399 or following payment options listed in vendor approval email. Please double-check your contact information before submitting to ensure accuracy and prompt notification.
DO NOT SEND IN PAYMENT UNTIL YOUR ACCEPTANCE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY A MEMBER OF RANDOLPH ARTS COUNCIL. You will be notified via email and/or by phone after being accepted to be prompted to pay.

Information Booths
Booths in this category are limited to only giving away printed literature/materials describing their community services and/or organization. We ask that to better align with the “arts” and “community” aspect of the Fall Festival’s mission you MUST make available or feature a public activity at your booth whether this be a game, activity, or service offered to festival goers.
* The Randolph Arts Council Board of Directors has made the decision to restrict 501(c)(4) (non- profit political affiliated booths) from the Fall Festival.
Downtown Business Advertising
Businesses located in the Fall Festival “footprint” of downtown and surrounding areas may use this category to advertise their business as a booth location within the festival. Downtown businesses (who are usually open during festival hours on Saturdays) will be given their “doorway”, a 6 to 10 ft opening so that attendees may easily access your downtown business. This booth space can be in addition to that space or located in the downtown “footprint”. Anything happening inside your brick and mortar location is “business as usual.” We ask that to better align with the “arts” and “community” aspect of the Fall Festival’s mission, if you choose to have an outside booth you MUST make available or feature a public activity at your booth whether this be a game, activity, or service offered to festival goers. It can cannot be used simply for the distribution of printed materials.
