Heritage Trade Demonstrator / Vendor Application

The Kiwanis Wilderness Trail Festival celebrates traditional crafts and skills that connect our community to its rich heritage. We invite artisans, craftsmen, and historical interpreters to share their knowledge through live demonstrations that educate and engage festival visitors—especially children.

Heritage Trade Demonstrators receive complimentary booth space at the festival. Demonstrators are expected to actively showcase their craft during the event and are encouraged to involve visitors in the learning experience whenever possible. Participants may also sell items related to their craft.

To apply, choose the option that works best for you.
