Craft Vendor Information

Important Notice To Vendors and Festival Participants:

SUNDAY, July 17th - Festival END TIME:

The Duck Derby begins at 5:00 PM; the police will not open the street until after all of the pedestrian traffic has moved away from the street and onto the sidewalks comfortably. They determine when that is, based on the crowd size and their movement. Safety is their responsibility.

To that end, all vendors should know 6:00 PM is when they can move cars to Wolcott Street to Pack up and depart and NOT BEFORE. We have tried to accomodate traffic on Wolcott Street during the derby to help vendors get away at a decent time, but pedestrian safety by the police takes priority.

 

Join us for the 23nd Annual Oatka Festival! Arts and crafts continues to be one of the largest features of this festival overlooking the scenic Oatka Creek.
