Vendor & Business Market
Showcase your business to the community at the Faribault Fall Festival! We are seeking vendors and businesses to set up booths and sell goods, share information, or promote your services. This is a great opportunity to connect with hundreds of local residents and festival-goers.
Camo Crawl
Get ready to get your camo on! The Camo Crawl is a themed bar crawl happening in the evening after the kids' events wind down. We're inviting downtown bars to participate in this fun event. It's a great way to attract new customers and be a part of the festival's exciting atmosphere.
Downtown Business Participation
We're inviting all downtown businesses to participate by reserving a booth space on Central Ave. or by participating in other activities, such as Trick or Treating and Kids' Activities. This is a great way to draw foot traffic into your store and celebrate with the community.
