You are now registering as a Vendor for: Lake David Park 2025 on Saturday, April 26.
Read our Artist and Vendor Survival Guide for some tips on hosting a booth at our events.
This is the Vendor Registration page, for people and businesses selling either merchandise or food/beverages. Please use the Artist application if you sell mostly items that you created or designed.
What’s the difference between an Artist and a Vendor?
Both artists and vendors are technically “vendors” in the sense that they have a booth space in which they sell merchandise. The difference boils down to hw much of that merchandise they were personally responsible for creating.
Artists are defined as “vendors” who create 80% or more of what they sell. This could include keychains, stickers and prints of things they’ve personally drawn or created, either by themselves or as a group.
Vendors sell mostly resale items, such as things you can find online and in major retail stores, such as mass-produced and licensed items.
If you’re not sure what to register as, just ask! We will always give you the best rate for what’s fair. Typically we charge less for vendors who qualify as Artists, because it’s our way of promoting small local growth. The big conglomerate corporations get enough of our money and time as it is. AITP favors artists, and art comes in many forms!
