Become A Vendor In Our Marketplace
Our Marketplace is an important part of BluesFest. It provides an opportunity for some of our local artisans or businesses to provide the public with an opportunity to display their creations and services. It is also an opportunity for local organizations to engage the public about what they offer to our community. This is a great opportunity for the public to purchase items – whether it be food or that special piece of jewelry – and to get to know our community partners.
