Rules and Conditions

We seek artists whose work represents the highest quality in design, materials, and workmanship. All vendors must be approved by the Georgetown Art & Wine Walk Committee (GAWW) which maintains the exclusive right to refuse vendors who, at their sole discretion, do not meet festival standards. Vendor fees of $80.00 are required to reserve a space for the 2 days.

1. Move in/set up will begin on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. There will be a check-in table at the front side of Francis Marion Park (intersection of Front and Broad St.) Vendors must unload at the curb next to the park then remove their vehicles from Front Street before setting up their booths. All vehicles must be off of the Festival portion of Front St. by 9:30 a.m. Displays should be set up one hour prior to opening. The festival opens at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday and 12:00AM on Sunday.

2. Vendor must be present for the duration of the festival each day (10 am – 5 pm Sat / 11 am – 4 pm Sun)

3. Your 10’ x 10’ booth space will be clearly marked. Please do not exceed beyond your assigned space. No displays will be allowed in any concrete sidewalk or walkway. Please be considerate of your neighbor. Exhibitors will be assigned spaces at check-in. Special consideration will be given to artists who need handicap accessibility.

4. Up to 2 exhibitors may share a 10’ booth. Each applicant must have submitted a separate application. Accepted applicants who plan to share a booth will receive joint confirmation of acceptance.

5. Vendor booth space should be professional and neat in appearance.

6. Equipment (tents, weights, tables, chairs, extension cords, etc.) will be supplied by the exhibitor (the Festival will NOT provide these items).

7. Electric hook-up will be available on a limited basis. However, due to the number of available power sources, electric hook-up cannot be guaranteed for all vendors. Priority will be given to those who require electricity to conduct demonstrations, display videos, etc.

8. Vendors should secure their tents and/or umbrellas with suitable weights in case of windy weather.

9. Trash will be removed by vendors and disposed of in provided containers.
