Applications will be available on January 1, 2025.
The Greening Up the Mountains Festival is a celebration of spring and Earth Day through both traditional and contemporary forms of Appalachian art, music, food, and beverage which honor our community and local artisans. This is a heritage arts festival and, as such, requires that all artisans and crafters be engaged in the business of selling their own fine arts and handmade crafts. No mass-produced items will be permitted at the festival, this includes, but is not limited to, t-shirts, signs, stickers, skin care products, and food products (with the exception of drinks). Vendor applications are approved on a first-come, first-served basis, and categories of artisans will be limited in order to create an experience of variety for attendees. Select environmentally oriented non-profits will be invited to attend.
Local for-profit businesses may participate by becoming festival sponsors. Please scroll down to the sponsor tab for more information.
