Join The Solon Recreation Department as we celebrate the best that the fall season has to offer. This year’s Solon Fall Festival handmade market will be held at Solon Community Park (outdoors) and will also include some family friendly activities as well! Please note that the event is in partnership with the Avant-Garde Art & Craft Show line.

​

Be sure to submit your completed Application and Show Contract, along with your fee, as soon as possible to guarantee your space at this year’s event. Space is limited; vendors will be given priority on a first-come, first-serve basis based upon review of work. 

​

All of our Avant-Garde Art & Craft Shows are promoted heavily through advertising in local papers, online event listings, our web site/blog, outdoor advertising, and social media (links can be found on bottom of the page!)

For 2024 vendors will need to park in the Solon Community Park parking lot and bring your own wagons and/or carry items back and forth to setup in your assigned spot. Please come prepared with wagons/extra help as you will need to walk back and forth from the parking lot to unload and load at the beginning and end of the event. There is no driving on the grass, and there is construction going on in the park, so this is a city rule. Prior to signing up, please be aware of these loading and unloading instructions. Thank you.)

BASE COST, ADDITIONAL FEES, & HOW TO PAY:

To exhibit all vendors are required to have a transient vendor’s license (it costs $25.00 to obtain one) this allows you to sell at a public venue, and the city does come and inspect frequently. A copy of your vendor’s license is due at the latest, the Monday before the event (you can still send in your app with payment while you await the license to arrive). You can find the form to obtain a license here.
