WHAT IS HARVEST FESTIVAL® VINTAGE ALLEY?

Vintage Alley is a newer area that offers an eclectic mix of vintage goods and vintage-inspired products, along with unique decor and gifts. This section is typically set apart from the rest of the show, depending on the available space and floorplan. Due to the size of the booths, vintage alley exhibitors are usually located towards the back of the hall, separate from our art & craft exhibitors. To qualify as a booth in this area, you must incorporate at least 50% vintage, showcasing a blend of vintage displays, true vintage items, and vintage-inspired products.

BOOTH SPECIFICS

Vintage Alley exhibitors have the option to select from standard booth sizes of 10' x 10', 10' x 15', 10' x 20', and 10' x 30', all priced at $500 per 10' space. Each booth is perfect for showcasing vintage goods and vintage inspired products, with back drape and electrical services included.

APPLICATION SPECIFICS

Before applying as a Vintage Alley exhibitor, please familiarize yourself with the booth layout, booth size, and the location of Vintage Alley. To be accepted, a signed and initialed contract is required, along with a non-refundable booth deposit. The deposit will not be charged until you are accepted as a participant showcasing your vintage goods or vintage inspired products. However, once you are accepted, the contract becomes binding, and cancellations are not permitted. First-time applicants can use a New Exhibitor Certificate, but new exhibitors must also submit photos of their booth alongside the jury sheet.

WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED?

Participants will enjoy all the same great benefits as vintage alley exhibitors: 4 FREE VIP passes per show that you participate in, with a discounted rate to purchase additional tickets for vintage goods and vintage inspired products. These tickets are valid for two years and can be shared with family and friends or some of your best shoppers! You'll also gain access to an average of 10,000 potential customers, all eager to shop 'til they drop. Plus, you'll be included in e-Blasts and social media posts featuring your vintage items.
