Vendors
Being a Vendor at the Palisade Peach Festival at Riverbend Park is a great way to showcase your business, support the community, and be part of the fun. The Palisade Peach Festival is one of the oldest agricultural-themed festivals in Colorado. Attendance exceeds 16,000 at the park on Friday and Saturday. The Festival draws visitors from western Colorado, the metropolitan areas on the front range and all over the US.
Riverbend Park in Palisade offers one of the prettiest locations for a festival anywhere. The park boosts a large outdoor setting under a canopy of mature trees situated in the bend of the cooling Colorado River.
IMPORTANT:
This is a “juried” festival and every effort is made to ensure a diverse group of vendors, giving priority based upon a “first come, first serve” basis.
Please do not assume you will be granted previous year’s location.
ALL PAPERWORK MUST BE SIGNED AND SUBMITTED WITH PHOTOS AND PAYMENT.
Please complete this years application & return to the Palisade Chamber of Commerce
Deadline for vendors – June 28.
