Vendor Application

Join us for the Olustee Festival in Lake City, FL, Friday and Saturday of Presidents’ Day weekend! We’re excited to welcome arts & crafts vendors, food vendors, and nonprofit organizations to be part of this beloved community event.

Before completing your application, please review the Olustee Festival Vendor Rules & Regulations to ensure your participation meets all requirements.

General Vendor Information

• Arts & crafts vendors: Only handmade or hand-embellished items are permitted.
• Food vendors: All menu items must be pre-approved by the Blue–Grey Army, Inc.
• Nonprofit vendors: Applications must be pre-approved by the Blue–Grey Army, Inc.

Application Details

• Spaces are first-come, first-served and subject to approval.
• Only completed applications with full payment will be accepted.

Applications are non-refundable and are submitted in good faith with the understanding that vendors are committing to participate on both days of the Olustee Festival. Refunds will only be considered in the event of a documented emergency that prevents participation. Qualifying emergencies may include:

• Serious illness, hospitalization, or death of the vendor or an immediate family member.
• A natural disaster (such as a hurricane, flood, tornado, or wildfire) that directly impacts the vendor’s home, business, or travel.
• A government-declared state of emergency or mandatory evacuation affecting the vendor.
• A major vehicle accident or other unforeseen event that makes travel to the festival impossible.

Requests for refunds must be submitted in writing and may require supporting documentation. All refund requests are subject to review and approval by the Olustee Festival Committee. The committee reserves the right to approve or deny any request based on the circumstances presented. Business-related conflicts, scheduling changes, weather concerns, poor sales at previous events, equipment failure, staffing shortages, or a decision not to attend do not qualify for a refund.

Returning Vendors

• Returning vendors have the option to guarantee their same space if the application and full payment are received by October 1.

We can’t wait to see your booth at the festival! Be sure your application is complete, your items follow the rules, and get ready for a fun, festive weekend celebrating arts, crafts, food, and community.
