The Historic Dills Tavern provides a unique setting for vendors and guests to experience the history of Dillsburg and the surrounding area. Indoor and outdoor spaces are available on a first come first served basis. The indoor spaces are unique and set within the historic rooms of Dills Tavern and the adjacent Log Barn. Outdoor spaces are readily available. Only vendors with Celtic and Celtic themed items will be accepted. Vendors will be notified of acceptance.
Spaces for vendors are 10'x10' allotments with access on three sides for the price of $75 for one or both days if contract and payment are received by January 15, 2026, or $100 if received after January 15, 2026. Vendors will only be accepted up until March 25th or until spaces are filled. A space will only be reserved once a contract and fee are received. Additional space may be purchased at the same rate and will be adjacent. Vendors must provide their own table and chairs. All items must be stored within the allotted space and no items may be places outside of the space for safety purposes. If your merchandise exceeds your 10'x10' space, please request and pay for an additional space. There will be a security presence overnight for those wishing to attend both days. Pets are not allowed unless they are properly marked service dogs or are an attraction approved by the festival.
