As we step into the sweet embrace of the new year, the Ashland Strawberry Faire committee is ripe with fresh vendor opportunities just waiting to be picked! Dive into the berry exciting details below as you scroll through the sun-kissed possibilities of joining us in the summer festivities.
Vendor Applications
Vendor applications will open on January 8, 2024. Early bird discounts are available through mid-April. After April 15, booth fees go up $25 per 10x10 space. Apply to vend at the Ashland Strawberry Faire here.
Arts & Crafts Vendors
Arts & Crafts Vendors will not be allowed to sell food or beverages. The Faire committee established this policy out of respect for food vendors who pay larger fees. We hope that you understand.
Faire Hours
The hours for the Faire have traditionally been 10:00am - 5:00pm. Based on feedback they have received, they are considering ending the Faire at 4:00pm. Share your opinion in this short survey.
Vendor Hotline
Questions? Call the Ashland Strawberry Faire Vendor Hotline at (804) 997-1946.
Food Vendors
ALL food vendors will fill out the same application (Food Vendor Application). This includes vendors offering food samples, selling pre-packaged food, and/or preparing and cooking on-site.
New for 2024:
Food Vendors will be required to upload documents to the Food Vendor Application to include a Mobile Unit permit or yellow sticker, Temporary Food Application (TFE) or Ag inspection (as applicable). They should be prepared to load applicable files to the application.
Booth Fees for Food Vendors - PayPal will collect your card information upon form submission, but we will not "capture" the payment until you are approved by the Food Directors to participate. This applies only to Food Vendors.
New for 2024 - Sugar Lane Sweets
The Faire’s new DESSERT area! This area is for food vendors offering special treats like ice cream, yogurt, strawberry shortcake, cookies, etc. The Faire will promote Sugar Lane Sweets during the months leading up to the Faire.
Strawberry “Goodie” Contest
Don’t forget about the contest for the best Strawberry goodies! A $75 prize will be given to a commercial food vendor and a non-commercial food vendor.
