Dear Vendor,

Plans are underway for the 2027 Oz-Stravaganza® Festival in Chittenango to be held from Friday, June 4 to Sunday, June 6. This year’s theme is "Oz-Stravaganza 50: Our Golden Jubilee." 

2027 VENDOR APPLICATIONS ARE NOW ONLINE ONLY, SEE LINK BELOW

This is an outdoor, rain or shine event in Chittenango, NY, and the vendor selection and priorities are as follows.

NOTE: To provide the widest array of vendor items to our guests, and to provide a suitable business environment to our vendors, we limit the number of vendors offering similar items.

1. To be considered for participation, all returning and prospective vendors MUST submit a completed 2027 application online.

2. Unless directed otherwise, all returning vendors should submit payment with their application. We are no longer accepting PayPal. Payments can be made by check or online at Zeffy: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/oz-stravaganza-vendor

3. Prospective/New vendors should NOT submit payment until directed to do so.

4. All applications will be processed in the order they are received. Applications from returning vendors are given priority.

5. Payment DOES NOT guarantee participation.

• Example: If I receive payment from two similar vendors, but only one can be in the park, I will most likely opt for the vendor with the longer festival participation history.

• If you are a prospective/new vendor and send payment expecting that it will “grease the wheels,” it will not.

6. Once our maximum vendor capacity has been reached, any further submitted applications will be automatically added to a waiting list. Should a spot become available that fits your requirements, as detailed on your application, you will be contacted regarding participation.

7. Vendors are approved only after:

• Application is accepted

• Payment is accepted

• Verification is sent

There are always scenarios which arise that require special considerations and accommodations-- we will do our best to treat everybody as fairly as possible.

Ozzily yours,

Eilis Byrnes

2. Vendors are encouraged to leave their tents/structures up throughout the run of the festival.
