Welcome! Greetings! It’s hard to believe, but The Arts Council’s 33rd Annual International Folk Festival is just around the corner. Our staff is working hard to prepare, as are our partners from Fayetteville’s rich and diverse ethnic community. And we’re all excited to once again host the thousands who will enjoy North Carolina’s only truly “international” festival. To all of our returning vendors: Welcome back! We think you’ll enjoy the changes and additions we’ve made to this year’s event. To our new vendors: We’re glad you’ll be with us, and we hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship for all of us. We have some new features this year that we’re confident all festival-goers will enjoy. We’ve expanded our Kids’ Area and added more arts, crafts and kiddie rides. We’ll also have a “community mural” that will be painted during the festival, by the people at the festival. This, in addition to all of the great music, dance, arts, crafts, and other performances that we’re known for. Specifically for vendors, we’ve made a couple of very positive changes. We’ve worked with city officials to design a layout that allows sides to be installed on all vendor tents while keeping the festival safe and code-compliant. We’ll also be conducting an early load-in on Friday afternoon, so that vendors and organizers can be even better prepared when the “doors” open on Saturday. And don’t forget—all Arts & Crafts vendors are automatically entered in our juried contest with a purse of $1000! All of these elements are detailed in the guidelines so please read them carefully to make sure all is understood. Don’t forget, our deadline to return applications is August 1st, so get them in early and avoid those late fees. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to call me or our Special Events Coordinator, Ashley Hunt. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
