Latest Oatka Festival News

Important Notice To Vendors and Festival Participants:

SUNDAY, July 13th - 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.

The Oatka Festival Committee has had two T-shirt designs created by Marny Cleere. Both style T-Shirts will be for sale at the Festival Tent in a variety of sizes.
In advance, if any class, company, and/or group would like to purchase 2008 T-shirts with Festival design on front and group logo/message on the back, please contact Leroy Pennysaver 768-2201. Click image for a larger view.

The parade will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday July 12th. The parade will form up on Lent Avenue.

Vendor space is still available as is Information Booth locations.
