Splash Festivals specializes in producing outdoor arts and crafts festivals with a focus on unique, fun and often whimsical artwork. Each colorful event is family friendly and will include festival cuisine and a lively Kidz Zone for young festival-goers.
Our shows have very creative personalities. Acceptable categories are candles, clay, culinary arts, digital, fiber, folk art, glass, jewelry, leather, living plants, metal, mixed media, paintings, photography, soaps/lotions/balms and wood. We require that all exhibitors hand make their products, except for Georgia Grown members with culinary goods. Absolutely no buy-sell artwork is allowed. The artisans and makers must be present in their booth during the show. We do not allow representatives to take their place.
Splash Festivals also hosts optional virtual marketplaces in tandem with the live event. If an outdoor show is canceled, the online market will still go on, so that artists can have an opportunity to sell their wares. There is no additional cost to participate in the online marketplace.
To apply for any of our events, please click on the links for the desired show below. You’ll be redirected to Eventeny.com where the applications are held online. All submissions are subject to the jury process.

Food Vendors
Our shows embrace the community spirit of the cities that host our shows. When choosing food vendors, we take into consideration what the local restaurants might be serving. We avoid duplications for the majority of items that we allow to be sold. Additional selection criteria are based on the uniqueness of the food you have to sell, the variety you have to offer, the appearance of your set-up and presentation of your food. If you are interested in participating in our 2022 or 2023 shows or want to find out more about each, please visit the application page for the festival(s) for which you are applying.

Street Performers
Street performers enhance the visitor experience at our festivals and we welcome them to apply. Street performers may be musicians who play acoustic or other string instruments, mime performers, balloon twisters, juggling, magic, stilt walkers, etc. You must supply your own equipment, including a tent, table or chairs (if necessary), power and amplification. Due to the nature of the events being art festivals, we will restrict the amplification volume so as not to interfere with the artists and their customers. We will provide a suitable location and may choose to have you shift locations depending on the amount of time you perform. You will be required to provide a short video or a link to your recorded video. To apply, please send your video to splashfestivals@gmail.com.
