Interested in participating as an onsite food or novelty vendor?

Artsplosure - The Raleigh Arts Festival May 2025

Applications are open for Food & Novelty Vendors.

Food and Novelty vendors may apply and pay deposits below. A paid deposit is required with each application. Deposits are refunded if you are not selected as a vendor.

Novelty Vendor Spaces are reserved for inexpensive nonfood souvenir items made to enrich audience members’ experiences at the festival (e.g. sunglasses, hats, fans, etc). We accept novelty crafts items that may be handmade, but cannot qualify or complete with the visual artist market (e.g. soaps, candles, plants, etc). Temporary/Body Art Services such as face painting, henna, and caricatures, are also welcome to apply. We do NOT allow T-Shirts, sweatshirts, CDs, food items, or any items not suitable for a family-friendly event. Email vendors@artsplosure.org.
