IMPORTANT CHANGES TO ONLINE APPLICATIONS This year, Northwest Folklife has updated and modified vendor applications. As a result:

  • Applicants will no longer be able to save their application information to review, update, and submit at a later date. Please plan on completing your application in one sitting and make sure to review your application information before clicking "submit."
  • Look for the "tool tips" feature! By mousing over a field, additional information for some of the application questions is provided.
  • Payment of booth and technical fees this year is by credit or debit card only. When filling out the application, you will be asked to enter your credit card details. Your card will be charged only if you are selected to participate in the festival.
  • Be sure to fill out every field with a red asterisk * new to it. The application will not submit if you leave one of these fields blank.
  • If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us at merchants@nwfolklife.org.
