Hey Artisan Vendors!

In 2023, the outdoor festival site is in the arts-friendly Broadway district of Saskatoon with all theatre venues being within short walking distance of each other. 11th Street East between Broadway Avenue and Dufferin Avenue is closed to traffic for the duration of the Festival and plays host to up to 30 artisan vendors.

Festival Time
Staff will begin to set up for the Festival on the Monday before opening – July 31st, 2023.
Vendors will be invited to load on on Opening Night of the Festival (Thursday, August 3rd) one hour before the Festival opens. Absolutely no parking is provided for the Festival, but there will be a designated loading zone.
We strongly recommend that artisans remove anything of value from their booth every evening. While we do have overnight site security, they cannot be everywhere at once, and we are not responsible for anything that may go missing or be damaged if it is left on the site overnight.
