Arts and Crafts in the Park - 2025

Description

Fill out your application carefully.  We may use the information you provide to promote your booth on mchenryfiestadays.com and our social media pages.  Remember to send a recent (2023 or newer) photo of your work that we can use to feature your business.  (The best quality photos will also be used to promote the event itself.)

This year we will be limiting the number of vendors per category.  The number per category varies depending on the nature of the category.  We do this to protect all of our vendors.  If you apply and your category is already filled, we will refund your application fee.

We will have 2 locations for vendors again this year.  Please indicate on your application if you have a preference.  If your preferred location is not available, you will be contacted to see how you would like to proceed.

CLICK HERE FOR VETERAN'S PARK LAYOUT (APPROXIMATE)
Located at 3400 Pearl Street, McHenry.  The park changes slightly every year (trees grow, lights are added, etc.), so spots are approximate and may not reflect actual booth number spaces the day of the event.

CLICK HERE FOR PICTURE OF MILLER POINT PARK
Located at 1202 N. Riverside Drive, McHenry.  This beautiful waterfront park is home to the new McHenry Riverwalk Shoppes and has three grassy areas for over 50 vendors to set up.  It is about 3 blocks from Veteran's Park.  With so much going on downtown during our Art and Street Fair, there is a natural flow towards this location.
