A Once-in-a-Summer Opportunity!
Each summer, the Erie Blues and Jazz Festival attracts thousands from the Erie region and beyond. Although attendees can come and go as they please, most tend to stick around for a while — and feel good about it!
The ample foot traffic throughout the weekend means plenty of opportunities to sell to (often quite eager!) customers. If you'd like to become a vendor at this year's event, please fill out the application form and our organizers will be in touch with you.
