How many vendors participate in Lansdale Day?   The outside event stretches from Green Street to Cannon Avenue on West Main Street in downtown Lansdale.  We have spaces for up to 250 vendors which include art, craft, community marketplace vendors, sponsors, and numerous food and food truck vendors; as well as entertainment and attractions that are family-friendly

 

Is there a charge for the public to attend Lansdale Day?   No, the event has no entrance fee for the general public. Annually, it is attended by 4000-7000 people.  Some larger attractions do have a small fee (eg: Bumper Cars)  CASH only for attractions provided by the host:  the Rotary Club of North Penn; a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. 

 

Is there parking available for Vendors?  YES, we have a vendor-only designated parking lot that is accessed once you have checked in (by vehicle) and unloaded at your pre assigned space. A vendor parking permit is distributed at check-in and is good for one vehicle per vendor.  If you bring additional vehicles, they will have to find parking elsewhere. No motor vehicles are permitted to remain on Main Street after 9am (the only exception is for self-contained food trucks)  There is a public parking lot close by as well as parking on side streets that parallel the event.  We do require all vendors to completely unload at their booth space and immediately park their vehicle before setting up their space - this is strictly enforced to avoid a bottleneck on Main Street during the check-in process. Detailed arrival instructions are sent to every booked vendor approximately two weeks prior to the Event.

(Cash Only).  

 

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.
