the marketplace
Applications are now OPEN for the Bucks County Book Fest Marketplace!
The Book Festival is accepting two types of vendors: Vendors and Community Partners.
-
Vendors are vendors selling goods for sale. The Festival is especially interested in “bookish” items (such as book or literary themed gifts and goods), local artisans, grab-and-go snack foods, and family-friendly festival items. Exclusions: MLM businesses, resellers without original products, most services, and food vendors other than those listed above.
-
Community Partners are non-profit and other community organizations supporting literacy, education and other interests in line with the Festival’s mission. Community Partners may offer information and free family-friendly activities but may not sell any goods.
All applications are reviewed and accepted by a volunteer jury. Acceptance is solely the decision of the volunteer jury. To be considered, please review the guidelines and submit an application using the links below.
