Antiques and Uniques Information for
Craftsbury Farmers’ Market Vendors
July 13th, 2024
The Antiques and Uniques Festival is returning to Craftsbury Common again this summer, on July 13th. There will be over 100 antique, craft and food vendors. This festival can bring 3,000+ visitors to the area and takes over normal activities on the Common, including the Craftsbury Farmers’ Market on that day.
In the past, the market has relocated off the Common in front of the High School.
That is not an option for us this year, but we have been invited to participate out on the Common as A&U vendors. This is optional for CFM vendors and there are some factors you might want to consider in deciding whether to participate:
*Increased customers
*Do you have enough inventory/are there other things you can bring? -Perhaps you have antiques of your own
-additional Crafts, artwork..................
*There is an additional fee: regular spaces cost between 75-200$
The A&U committee is offering, for the farmers’ market vendors only, the ability to rent half spaces(10x10) in the field for $33 or full spaces (10x20) for $65.
Food Vendors, serving hot meals to eat on site, will be charged $140 for a 10x20, no shared booths allowed for prepared meal vendors
*A&U has there own set of guidelines, please be prepared to follow them
*It is a longer day, 9-3, and you must be set up by 8:45, cars can unload on the Common, but need to be off the field by 8:30
*Parking is at Dustin Field-there will be a shuttle bus available
As the farmers market we are trying to see if we can reserve an area of booths all together and as near to where we usually set up as possible.
How to sign up:
For now, indicate on the bottom of your application if you wish to do the A&U market.
We will help pair vendors to share a space at our spring meeting on April 14th. We will have forms to fill out there. Payment and forms will need to be turned in by May 1st at the Craftsbury Town Hall to get the early bird price. Anyone wishing to sign up directly through the A&U website can do so at the standard prices.
