Arts and Crafts in the Park -- 2024

Description

OUR BOOTHS HAVE SOLD OUT!

Fill out your application carefully.  We will use the information you provide to promote your booth on mchenryfiestadays.com and our social media pages.  Remember to send a recent (2022 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.)

NEW THIS YEAR!!  We will have 2 locations for vendors.  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.
