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.
Vendor Information
Booth Spaces include Permit
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.
Reserve your Space Early
Booth sites are reserved on a first come, first serve basis and applications are now being accepted. 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.
Many of the vendors who had originally registered and paid for space in the cancelled 2020 festival chose to apply their reservation to the 2021 event. This means that many of the popular spaces will be filled earlier than usual so it is extremely important to reserve your space early.
PLATINUM COMMERCIAL SPACES ARE SOLD OUT.
VENDOR APPLICATION GUIDELINES
- Spaces will be reserved ONLY upon verification of application and payment received. If the section you selected is full, we will place you in the next available classification and refund the payment upon your arrival. NOTE: There are only eight Platinum booth spaces this year, two on each corner of Division and Second Streets. The only exception is if the first space is taken and you have a double or triple to fit into the second space.
- In case of cancellation prior to festival, refunds are available by request as follows: 60 days or more - 100%, 45-59 days - 75%, 30-44 days - 50%, less than 30 days - 0.
- Commercial Single booth spaces are 10' X 10'.
- Arts and Crafts and Non-Profit Single booth spaces are 10' X 12.
- Sites with electricity are limited, so be sure to indicate on the application if it is needed. You must furnish your own extension cord(s) and standard 220 adaptors, if needed. Electricity is only available in a few arts and crafts sites (no 220) and is not available in the non-profit section. If electricity is needed in these areas, you will need to bring a suitable quiet generator (60 Dba or less).
- Arts and Crafts Vendors, if you are not certain your products qualify for this area, please contact Stilwell Kiwanis at stilwellkiwanis@gmail.com or call 918-797-5097.

Vendor Booth General Locations
Booth Location Changes
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. These spaces will be assigned to commercial standard vendors. The non-profit booths will be located on Olive Street near the horseshoe and Mountain View Meats areas. Additional Arts and Crafts booth space has been added to the paved lot across from the courthouse.
Arts and Crafts
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.
Commercial Booths
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
Non Profit Booths will be placed on Third Street and on Olive Street next to the Horseshoe Tournament area.
