Exhibitors add ‘flavor’ to 25th ‘celebration of community’
We love our Suwanee Day exhibitors who provide the true flavor—sometimes literally and sometimes figuratively—for our “Celebration of Community”! Festival exhibitors include fine artists, talented craftspeople, and food vendors who have a flair for flavor and creativity.
The Suwanee Day festival, which attracted about 40,000 people last year, strives to offer a varied assortment of high-quality items. For this reason, preference is given to exhibitor applicants who offer individually made artistic and craft items. (No business resale, hobby-crafts or home-based consultants, or retailing is permitted.) Exhibitors are selected through a jury process, not on a first-come, first-served basis. If not accepted, application fees will be returned.
For the first time this year, the Suwanee Day festival is offering artists and craftspeople an opportunity to participate in a Best of the Festival competition. Those artists interested in participating will add $25 to their exhibitor fee. First, second, and third place winners will be determined the day of the festival and, winners will receive cash awards to be determined by the number of artists participating.
Take a look at what our 2007 exhibitors had to say and consider being part of the 2008 festival!
