3rd Annual Spooktacular

A group of Downtown N. Wilkesboro business owners got together to solve the problem. We decided to throw a downtown Halloween street party, but we need your help! We will be looking for craft vendors, musicians, local businesses, nonprofits and more to get involved! Come sell your goods or promote your business or services.

In order to have a festival feel, we will need BOTH vendors and candy stations. We want vendors to bring their crafts or products to sell. We do NOT expect vendors to have to give away candy in addition and incur this expense. You are welcome to hand out as much candy as you like, but we don’t want families to visit your booth with the sole expectation of getting candy. We DO need businesses or organizations that would like to promote their organization or just be a part of the community by hosting a candy station. This is a big commitment and our best guess is that you will need 4 to 5 thousand pieces of candy to host (and be advertised as) a candy station. Please consider the options that works best for you. There is a $25 both rental for venders selling and no charge for candy station sponsors. If you prefer to solely be a candy state but are unsure if you can commit to this large of an expense, let us know and we can put groups together or come up with another creative way for you to participate.

Please let us know if you feel you can contribute in any other special way. We are open to all ideas! We plan to have costume contests, pumpkin painting, and anything else we can dream up. Let’s all work together to make this a great new event for families to attend each year! If you would like to be a partner for this great event, please fill out the Vendor Application & Agreement (below) and we will be in touch with more details.

Event Time 4:00-8:00 PM with vendor set up from 3:00-4:00PM.
