2025 Vendor Categories
2025 Vendor & Exhibitor Categories will open in NOVEMBER 2024 and will be available on website
for the 2025 Baldwin County Strawberry Festival to be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, and Sunday, April 13, 2025.
We are still in the developing stages of an electronic application. Once it is working properly, we will publish on website.
Due to new construction and development in the Loxley Municipal Park we will not be honoring previous location requests from returning vendors.
Vendors are required to apply annually to participate in the festival and previous attendance does not guarantee acceptance. Annual applications are released in November of each year.
Vendors & Exhibitors
An exhibitor is any individual, club, non-profit organization, church or business planning to set up booths for the sale of non-food items. A vendor is any individual, club, non-profit organization, church or business planning to sell food items. Register early to ensure a spot for the Baldwin County Strawberry Festival.
We encourage all vendors to carry Strawberry themed product that don't compete with Festival Fundraising.
Entry
NO resale of booth space by an exhibitor to another vendor is allowed. If the person whose application is accepted is unable to attend, the space reverts to the Strawberry Festival Committee.

The Festival Committee will review all applications and will reserve the right to deny any applicant. Previous participation does not guarantee involvement in this year's festival. Applicants can be denied if the contents to be sold or the design of the booth is deemed inappropriate by the committee. Promotion of illegal activities will not be tolerated. No exhibitor can sell drug paraphernalia, pornography, alcohol, or tobacco products. Any form of gambling is prohibited.
