                                  2011 WOODEN BOAT FESTIVAL

 

 

Dear Vendor:

 

Our annual Wooden Boat Festival  will be held on Saturday, July 16, 2011,  from 9 am to 5 pm, at  Huddy Park, Toms River, New Jersey.  This is a one day, rain or shine, event.  Flea markets, artists, music, and food vendors are invited to reserve space.

 

The Festival draws about 5,000 spectators, families and boating enthusiasts from New Jersey and neighboring states.  The event is well advertised through press releases, radio, TV promos, posters, as well as notices in local, national and regional publications.  We are again sharing the day with the NJ State Ice Cream Festival, held on Washington Street, one block from Huddy Park.  This festival draws up to 8,000 people.

 

We are requesting art and merchandise be maritime related.  This Marine Art-in-the-Port theme, links marine art with the artistry of model boat construction and the artistry of restoring full scale antique and classic boats.  Marine artwork can include scenes of the beach, seashells, water, docks, fish, boardwalks, boats, etc.                                                                                                                                      

 

Vendor space is by invitation only to ensure the best exposure for your business.  Only trades and merchandise of nautical or marine theme are accepted.  Vendor spaces are outside.  Bring your own tent if you wish.  Please note there is a NO STAKING  tents policy  at Huddy Park.  Weights or water bottles are permitted.    Ample free parking is adjacent to the festival grounds.  Setups are on Friday, from 2 to 5 pm, Saturday from 7 am to 9 am.   Security will be provided on Friday night from 6 pm to 7 am  Saturday. 

 

In order to guarantee space,  please return your completed Application/Contract form, with your check as soon as possible.  No refunds. Please visit our website for details, additional Application/Contracts, and photos of past Wooden Boat Festivals.   Providing us with your email will also guarantee direct updates.

 

We appreciate your interest and look forward to having you at the Festival.
