Are you interested in being part of the Salem Fiber Witch Festival? We are looking for yarn and fiber vendors that fit our witchy aesthetic, and witchy vendors (artists and artisans that make witchy or witchy-adjacent goods). A big draw of our show is that we are located right in the middle of Witch City. Our shoppers love the theme so please know that we prioritize practicing witch vendors and witchy themed vendors! We had over 1,600 attendees come through the Witches Market during our 2025 show!

Deadlines

Vendor applications are open from July 1st, 2025 to Sept. 1st, 2025. Decisions on applicants will be sent out no later than Sept 30th, 2025.  Vendor booth payments are due in full by January 15, 2026. Cancellations must be received by January 15, 2026 to receive a refund (10% cancellation surcharge). No refund will be issued after this date, no exceptions. If you are accepted and do not pay in full by Feb, 15, 2026, you will forfeit your spot.

*Application Fee

There is a non-refundable $20 New Vendors/$15 Returning Vendors application fee (Pay Your Fee Here). Any vendors who fail to pay the fee by Sept. 1st, 2025 will not be considered. We believe in paying everyone fairly for their labor, including ourselves. The application fees cover the time we spend reviewing each applicant, as well as curating the final list of vendors to ensure a balanced representation of vendors. We spend extensive time carefully reviewing each applicant’s application form, website and all social media.

There is an elevator at Old Town Hall, and this may be used for load in. Please load out by 6 pm on Sunday.

Friday Early Load In Will be an option for all vendors with a $50 fee if you would prefer to load in on Friday. 

Parking

We do not have designated vendor parking, but there’s lots of parking in Salem! Please review parking options on Destination Salem’s website.

Important Additional Information

All vendors, staff, and attendees will be required to wear a mask from 11 am to Noon. This time slot is designed to accommodate our immunocompromised Fiber Witches. If you are accepted as a vendor, you will have to abide by these terms.

Please note that a majority of our target audience are fiber crafters and artists themselves, with this in mind, we generally do not accept vendors who sell finished knit or crochet items. It’s not that we don’t think this work is lovely, it’s just that knitters and crocheters typically would rather make their own pieces rather than buy them from another crafter. We want our vendors to be successful and make lots of sales!

The Fiber Witch Festival is an artist focused market. We expect everything you sell to be made or designed by you. We do not allow any resale of mass produced goods. 

We believe in paying artists for their work, in light of this we will not consider any applicants who use AI art in their products or promotional materials.
