AP/SBC 2027 Application Form - Rochester Lilac Festival


VENDOR APPLICATION

Please fill in the following details with care and good luck from the Rochester Lilac Festival team! Remember that what you submit here is the only criteria our jury will judge entries by.

Thank you for your interest in Art in the Park and Small Business Circle.
Art in the Park features talented makers, artists, and craftspeople from across the region—each presenting original, handmade works created by their own hands. From fine art and photography to ceramics, jewelry, textiles, and woodwork, every piece reflects the unique vision and craftsmanship of its creator. Art in the Park is juried to ensure all participating exhibitors design and produce their own creations—no mass-produced or imported goods or weaponry allowed. 

The Small Business Circle at the Rochester Lilac Festival is vibrant marketplace that highlights entrepreneurs and small businesses offering unique products, services, and gifts. From handmade goods to innovative brands, it’s the perfect place to shop small, support local, and connect with the people who make our community bloom.

Each Sunday of the event, there is an vendor breakfast and coffee included for vendors.

NEW FOR 2027: Art in the Park & Small Business Circle are expanding to Friday (for a total of 3 days per weekend) both weekends! The addition of Friday means another day for vendors to showcase their work, connect with festival-goers and make sales in Highland Park.

*Please note* The size of this event will be temporarily smaller this year, due to the long-anticipated construction of the Children's Pavilion (located where Small Business Circle has traditionally been located. We will not be able to accept as many vendors as normal this year but we expect that to only be the case for 2027.
