Tell the People Coming to Fall Festival 2026
The Stories are What Make it Special
Remember that One Festival?
There’s something about festival days that sticks with us.
The early morning setup. Coffee beside the cash box. Vendors helping each other wrestle with tents. The first people wandering through. Music somewhere in the background.
And, yes, occasionally watching the sky and wondering whether those clouds are headed your way.
If you’ve been doing festivals for a while, chances are there’s one particular day, person or moment you still remember.
What’s yours?
Sometimes It's One Person
Maybe someone picked up something you made and immediately got it.
Maybe a customer told you who they were buying it for—and suddenly the thing you created became part of someone else’s story.
Maybe a child kept coming back to your booth. Someone remembered you from last year. A stranger made you laugh. Or someone said something you still remember years later.
The best festival stories don't necessarily involve the biggest sale.
Sometimes they’re about one person and one moment. What is that story about that one time, that one person?
Why Do you Keep Selling at Festivals?
Being a vendor isn’t always easy.
There are early mornings, heavy totes, tents to haul, hot days, cold days—and we've already talked about those infamous rainy and windy days.
And yet…you come back.
So what is it about this work that makes it worthwhile?
Think about the moment, the people, the feeling and the meaning. What happened? Who was there? How did you feel? And why has that particular memory stayed with you?
That’s a story we’d love to hear.
Tell the People Coming to Fall Festival
"Thousands" is a big number. But festivals aren't really made from big numbers.
What would you tell them?
Hit reply and tell us your story. A few sentences are wonderful. A whole story is wonderful, too.
The Stories Are What Make It Special
At the end of the day, a festival is more than tents, tables, food and entertainment.
It’s the people behind them—and the thousands of small moments that happen along the way.
So tell us yours.
What do you love about being a vendor? What memory still makes you smile? And what would you tell someone who has never experienced Fall Festival before?
Hit reply and share your story. We’d love to hear it—and we may share it as we introduce our community to the people who help make Fall Festival special.
Because long after the tents come down, the stories are what stay with us.
If you’d like to tell your story, we’d love to hear it—and we may feature your story and business as part of our Fall Festival communications. Be sure to include your business name, what you sell, a phone number or Facebook link if you’d like people to be able to reach you, along with your logo and a favorite photo that helps tell people what you sell.
Please email your memory to me at [email protected]
