Summerfest Craft Vendor Application

The Greater Sayville Chamber of Commerce will be hosting their annual Summer Festival on August 4th, 5th and 6th of 2023. The festival will take place outdoors and will encompass the entire downtown Sayville area. This is an extensively advertised event that draws very large crowds. We would like to invite you to join our artists and crafts people in an exhibition and sale of their work as part of the Summer Festival. Accepted applications will be contacted via email no later than July 28th, 2023.

The following are the Festival guidelines:

  • Booths MUST be set up by 8:30 AM and show time is 9:30 AM on Saturday and Sunday

IF YOU ARE NOT SET UP BY THE TIME ABOVE, YOU WILL HAVE TO PARK AND WALK YOUR THINGS TO YOUR BOOTH – NO EXCEPTIONS

This is an OUTDOOR event. Due to the size and nature of the event, weather conditions are monitored by officials. If it is determined that inclement weather is passing the event will continue as planned. It is IMPERATIVE that all vendors bring tarps or other materials to protect their merchandise as temporary unpleasant conditions may prevail. It is your responsibility to protect your wares.
