EarthFest Augusta 2022

Dear Vendors,

Ancient Path Augusta is excited to present our 2022 EarthFest Augusta Event on Saturday, November 12th from 10a-4pm. At EarthFest Augusta we celebrate Mother Nature and everything she provides. We have begun planning this year’s activities and hope you will help us make it yet another successful year. The event this year will once again include crafts, art work, special activities, children's games, and delicious food during this outdoor event.

This is a “rain or shine” event, therefore no refunds will be given! There are no rain dates scheduled. Only in the following case are refunds given - Refunds for those (Paid in advance) vendors in the event that EarthFest Augusta cancels the event. You will be notified in that unlikely event as soon as possible!

The price for a 12’ x 12’ space is $ 45.00. This price includes a guaranteed retail space, admission for 2 individuals, and ability to park a vehicle behind the space. 2 spaces are discounted at $80.00 and 3 spaces are discounted at $120.00.  Vendors are responsible for ALL Tents, tables, chairs, fans, contents and display items. 

*Were you a vendor at our Earthfest Augusta event last year? You receive a 10$ loyalty discount, which means your space is $35.

*Hosting a class? You receive a $5 discount if you are teaching a class. Please email augustapagans@gmail.com so we can confirm space availability, non-duplication of class topic, and provide you the discount code. 

If you ONLY wish to set up an Informational booth, there is a non-refundable $10.00 fee to reserve your space. You must still fill out the Vendor Application - just so we know who you are and can mark the space for you. You will still be required to bring your own set up items as listed for craft and food vendors. *We request that Informational Booths be manned throughout the event.

All Vendors agree to DONATE at least 1 Item (with your business name/card on it) for the door prizes pulled throughout the event. This will also help advertise your booth and wares! Please turn this in to the volunteers at the Vendor Check-In table when you arrive. You MUST check in upon arrival to obtain your vendor badges. This gives you the ability to come and go throughout the day as needed. Make sure your information is clearly marked on it so we can announce who you are throughout the day and when folks WIN!

If you are interested in participating this year, please complete the application and payment below. 

*Additional information is provided in the Terms of Participation below.

*Please note: Electricity will not be available for vendors. Small electric items should run on batteries, use a small generator, or may run off of your vehicle parked behind your booth.

We look forward to seeing you at EarthFest Augusta 2022!

Sincerely,

Ellen Veals & Brandy Gunsolus
