Welcome to another year and another Whole Earth Festival season! Thank you for your interest in this year's festival. The Whole Earth Festival is an educational fair. Education is achieved not only through non-profit booths, but also through organic food, music and handmade crafts. Just the presence of craft booths is educational because they are an alternative to the mass produced, sweatshop, corporate world. This year, in order for the craft vendors to further participate in the educational process, they have the opportunity to go that extra mile and do demonstrations and workshops of their craft. The Whole Earth Festival is also an environmentally conscious fair. We would like to include vendors who are also environmentally aware.

Therefore, we like to see an emphasis on environmentally friendly items. This means more organics, more sustainably harvested and recycled goods.

Please take the time to read and complete the following application. Please include how your craft can bring both education and environmental awareness to the festival. I would also love to hear about where you get your materials and how you make your wares.
