Artist & Crafters Application
 

The Historic Granbury Merchants Association (HGMA) is pleased to invite you to apply for booth space in our
HISTORIC GRANBURY MEMORIAL DAY HOMETOWN FAIR.
 An estimated 8,000 people will enjoy this 3-day outdoor festival on the Historic Downtown Square & Shanley Park in Granbury, Texas. Our historic setting, community support and attendance all enhance exposure of the exhibitors work, sales and demonstrations.
 

Due to the renovation of the Historic Courthouse we cannot guarantee booth spaces.  Booth spaces will be subject to change right up to the date of the event.  We will do our best to accommodate the requests, but construction could change our plans.  Although unlikely, it is possible that the festival could also be moved to an alternate location.
You will be notified of the official site when you receive your initial booth confirmation.  Your confirmed booth space will be final upon receipt of your vendor packet at vendor check-in.  We appreciate your patience and understanding in the matter.
