From Festival on Main Website:

It is time to start planning for the 11th Annual Festival on Main to be held on the square in downtown Granite Falls, Saturday, September 21, 2019, from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Granite Falls Merchants Association is looking for vendors with handmade items, ceramics, wood and tin workers, etc. along with food vendors to join this years festival.

A NON-REFUNDABLE ENTRY FEE must be paid to guarantee selling space for the artist or craftsman. Deadline for all food vendors is August 1, 2019. All food vendors (including non-profit organizations) using flammable equipment like stoves, grills and fryers, MUST supply NCDA certifications and proof of insurance to the festival organizers and abide with Caldwell County Health Department regulations. Proof of insurance can be sent with the application or faxed separately to (***) ***-**** if you do not have it at the time of application. Insurance proof must be received by August 30th for all food vendors. We cannot accept any entries after the 6 of September because we need time to prepare the spaces for September 21st. All entries must supply their own tents, tables, chairs, etc.

Exhibit spaces will be numbered on a first come, first served basis after the pre-registration and receipt of your entry fee. Spaces will be approximately 16 feet x 12 feet.

Space numbers will be given when you check in on the morning of the festival.
