Thank you for your interest in vending opportunities. Charleston County Park & Recreation Commission hosts a variety of festivals and events throughout the year in which we select food, craft/merchandise, and non-profit vendors. Your Charleston County Parks are dedicated to the support and advocacy of Lowcountry vendors that offer local products and services.

If you are considering applying for any of our events, please note the following:

Craft/Merchandise Vendor

• Products must be designed, fabricated, and hand-crafted by the artisan vendor.
• Vendors cannot be part of a national franchise, corporate chain of businesses, or an independent consultant. 
• Products must not be readily available through national distribution channels. 
• Vendors must supply their own tent, tables, and chairs. 
• Duplicate products may be denied entry. In the case of duplicate items, the grading criteria is as follows: authenticity, level of innovation of products and menu items, Charleston County location status, booth appearance, past performance, and value of products and services.
• Due to limited space, vendors requiring more than 20 feet for their booth will be charged an additional vendor fee.
