ARTS & CRAFTS VENDOR APPLICATION

NON-PROFIT
APPLICATION
Small retail businesses physically located in Issaquah, which are individually owned and operated, and have a physical product to sell, are invited to participate in this opportunity that usually doesn’t exist at Salmon Days. Traditionally, the Festival features only handcrafted arts and crafts made by the artist, so this is a great opportunity for our local small retail businesses.
Please note that there are specific requirements for this booth. Make sure you qualify before applying.
SMALL
COMMERCIAL
RETAILER
Special government and City of Issaquah organizations that provide services to the Issaquah community are encouraged to participate. Since King County and the City of Issaquah offer regional services to Issaquah residents, Salmon Days provides a valuable opportunity to educate, engage, and distribute resources to the community.
Please note that public school organizations, such as Robotics teams, fall under this category as they do not qualify as a 501(c)(3).
