Crabapple Fest Organizers Already Looking for Vendors

It may be almost five months away, but the Crabapple Fest, Milton's long-running art and antique festival is now accepting vendor applications for the Oct. 5 event.

If you are interested in taking part in this time-honored tradition, visit the Crabapple Community Association (CCA), email the CCA or call Amanda Quintana at 770-241-1125.

Organizers are looking for 19th century American Country furniture, primitive antiques, shabby chic items and unique pieces of art in all mediums – oils, photography, jewelry, textiles, pottery and quilts. Spaces are limited, so apply early. 

Expanded for 2013, the streetfest now features kids and entertainment activities and a new, central downtown location on Crabapple and Broadwell roads, thanks to a partnership between CCA and the City of Milton.

Crabapple Fest will be held Saturday, Oct. 5 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. More than 100 antique vendors, local juried artists and merchants from six states will be on hand, in addition to loads of children's rides, games, a full day of entertainment and great local food.

Last year's event drew more than 10,000 attendees, and with the new partnership, organizers are expecting many, many more.

Vendor fees are tax deductible as the Crabapple Community Association is a chartered, non-profit organization. Proceeds benefit local community programs, scholarships and non-profit charities.
