After reading the information and guidelines, scroll down to the online or downloadable application links
Each year thousands of visitors visit Stilwell for the annual Strawberry Festival. With attractions at each end of Division, and along First, Second, Third and Olive Streets, visitors flow through the vendor booths throughout the entire downtown festival area.
A permit is required for all vendors at the festival. Vendors arranging for space on private property must additionally purchase a vendor permit. Vendors purchasing booth space from Kiwanis do not have an additional permit fee, because it is included in the price of the booth space. Either way, the festival permit covers from 6:00 PM Friday, the day before the festival, until 6:00 PM festival day. A separate permit must be displayed on each booth, stand, or attraction and we will issue permits at check in. Set up may begin as early as 5:00 PM Friday, the day before the festival.
Read the Vendor Guidelines below carefully as there are some new items and some have been changed from last year.
Booth sites are reserved on a first come, first serve basis and applications will be accepted beginning January 1, 2022. Various price levels are available for you to choose from. The more expensive spaces are those most in demand because of their proximity to the parade route and the Kiwanis Stage.
We will accept entries beginning January 1, 2022 until 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, 2022. We cannot accept any late entries due to Oklahoma Tax Commission regulations.

Due to past overcrowding on Third Street we have changed the booth layout to one side of the street to allow for easy movement of festival attendees and space for emergency vehicles should that be necessary. Additional Arts and Crafts booth space has been added to the paved lot across from the courthouse.
Arts and Crafts booths are located on Division St. between Third and Fourth Street and on the paved lot on Third Street across from the courthouse (see map) The Prime booths are the first few booths along Division beginning at Third Street.
The commercial booths are located on both sides of Division Street between First and Third Streets and also on the east side of Third Street between Division and Olive (see map) There are only eight platinum booth spaces available, two on each corner of Second and Division Streets. The only exception is if the corner booth is sold and a vendor wants the second space and needs a double or triple space. The premium fee will be charged for all spaces. The next few spaces away from Second Street will be Prime spaces and the rest will be Standard. Be sure to read the guidelines carefully as there is a booth height restriction on booth locations near the stage.
Non Profit Booths will be placed on Third Street and on Olive Street next to the Horseshoe Tournament area.
