The vendor application is closedfor Rooster Walk 13, May 25-28, 2023 (Memorial Day Weekend 2023), located just outside of Martinsville, VA, in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We will notify those selected for RW13 no later than April 15, 2023.
Every year, we pride ourselves on having some of the best food, arts, crafts and healing arts vendors the East Coast has to offer. This year will be no different! Please note that if selected, vendors will be required to complete a vending agreement with Rooster Walk and provide proof of insurance. In addition, Henry County requires vendors to purchase a peddler’s permit. (To give you an idea on the price of the permit – In 2022, it was a $50 one-time fee for the year.)
Thanks for your interest in Rooster Walk, a community nonprofit dedicted to promoting music, arts and education in our home of Martinsville-Henry County!
