Electricity not provided for this daytime event and no generators please.
Booths may be shared by two individual artists maximum. Both artists must apply separately and both be accepted in order to participate.
**Detroit vendor license - the city of Detroit requires that each vendor has this specific license in order to sell at a festival. This is their requirement not ours, and it is mandatory. If accepted, FrankenFest will file the paperwork and give you the license upon arrival to the event. We, along with other festival producer friends have done our best to appeal this requirement. We dislike it as much as you do, but the Detroit venue is so perfect and unique for this event. Unfortunately, it is the price of doing business on Detroit property. This license is good for the day of event only and is non refundable.
