Fine Arts Festival

On the day of AdaFest, East Main Street closes to cars and transforms into a pedestrian boulevard where festival-goers meander between vendor booths and food trucks. Whether you make paintings, sculptures, stickers, ceramics, photos, custom poems, jewelry, or something else – join our community of artisans to share your work with thousands of attendees. We provide all our vendors with wi-fi, cold water, and food truck vouchers. A few booths have electricity too – available on a first-come, first-served basis. As a bonus, our juror will award a cash prize to the “best of show” booth.

This year we will ask vendors to pay their booth fee ($50) after acceptance. Please fill out the Google form at the bottom of this page for consideration. We look forward to seeing what you make!
