Registration: Memorial Weekend Vendor 2023

Description

Our Memorial Weekend Arts & Crafts Show is open for exhibitors! We'd love for you to help us celebrate. Our visitors are seeking handmade crafts, one of a kind resale items and local foods. I bet you have something to offer them! Additional events that will entice buyers include our annual Car Show, live music, and local businesses will have sidewalk sales and specials! This show has continuously brought in approximately 4,500 guests. We average about 90 vendors with a mix of handmade, resale and our member businesses. 

Newaygo is a small community that thrives with tourism thanks to our natural resources like the Muskegon River running right through the downtown district as well as numerous trails. 

We'd love for you to stay the weekend with us! (There is no overnight camping in Brooks Park) Click here for a  list of of our Members that offer lodging!
