Creativity Zone
The Creativity Zone is an innovative and exciting place for kids and their
families. When kids cross the gateway into the Zone, they will find lots of
free things to do and make with the help of trained artists, such as mask
making, hat making or even join the circus!
By purchasing an exhibit space in close proximity to these activities, you
can sell your product or service to a large family audience. For that
reason, your product will be JURIED to determine appropriateness.
Booths are assigned on a first paid basis.
Commercial Fees (must be included with your completed application)
| Application fee |
$20 |
| Single exhibit space |
$370 |
| Corner exhibit space |

If requesting a corner space, please issue a

Nonprofit Way
Tapestry is a nonprofit organization and we realize the value of getting
your group noticed. That is why we dedicate a strip of our busy festival
sidewalks to fellow nonprofits. The space fees are affordable and there are
many things that you can do with your spot. Distribute information! Sign up
new members! We even supply you with a table and two chairs at no
additional cost.
The prime location will help you get your message out. The only requirements
are that your organization is a nonprofit 501(c)3 and that you cover your
table. Please note that direct fund-raising activities (i.e. drawings,
raffles, auctions, etc.) are not allowed.
Nonprofit Fees (must be included with your completed application)
| Single exhibit space |
$150 |
| Corner exhibit space |
$150 plus $50 |
If requesting a corner space, please issue a
separate check for $50 – it will be returned if corner space is not
available.

Exhibit Spaces
Each exhibit space is 10´ x 10´. Originality and creativity are encouraged
in your display. No bare tables will be allowed. Since the festival takes
place outdoors, we cannot be responsible for weather conditions or space
assignments in sun or shade.
You are responsible for staffing, assembling and dismantling your own booth
(unless renting through Tapestry) as well as providing all booth equipment
and supplies. Any construction material, other than rigid framing, and all
sprays and paints must bear the State Fire Marshal’s Seal of Approval. The
festival will open to exhibitors at 7 AM on Saturday, Sept. 1. Exhibit
spaces must be set up by 9 AM and staffed all three days during festival
hours. Vehicles on the festival site are subject to police approval at the
close of the festival at 5 PM on Monday, Sept. 3.
All exhibits must be appropriate for families. We reserve the right to
remove any item or exhibitor that does not comply with festival policies. |
