When do you start booking vendors? Artisans who were with us the previous year are given first consideration to book a space beginning January 1st through January 31st. On February 1st, we open the registration to all potential vendors, whether new or returning. We continue booking until we are full, which often happens before the deadline
Do you limit similar vendors? Yes, we absolutely do! We are very careful not to over-book similar vendors, whether an artisan or a business. Certain categories are extremely limited and booked on a first-come-first-serve basis. Additionally, we are also very careful not to place similar vendors near one another in order to limit competition.

Why do you require a canopy covering for the booth space I plan to rent? For several reasons, but the most important is to help protect YOU and your display from wind, extreme sunshine and potential drizzle. Secondly, we require this so a uniform look is provided for this event. Lansdale Day is not a flea market or a garage sale - it is an Art & Craft Festival; and the addition of canopy coverings (as well as tables draped or skirted) provide a touch of class and attract buyers. All vendors (except self-contained food trucks) must have a canopy covering as outlined in the Terms & Conditions form signed by every vendor.
