Kidtreprenuers

Kid vendors are a new offering for the 2025 Midlothian Village Day Festival. We will have a section specific for kid vendors. Kid vendors will require a parent to be on-site at all times at or near their booth. Adult craft vendors will be in crafter row. Kid vendors will be in primary area of the bus loop - opposite of food vendors. 

Please join us for the 43rd Annual Midlothian Village Day Festival & Craft Fair on Saturday, October 18, 2025, 10-3 pm at Midlothian Middle School, 13501 Midlothian Turnpike, Midlothian, VA 23113.  Each year, the grounds are filled with many talented artisans.

​

The Festival is a RAIN OR SHINE event.

​

Booth spaces are 10 X 10 feet. Fees: $25 ($30 after October 1, 2025) Please note: no refunds will be given after August 30, 2025! We often have a waiting list and it is unfair to others that could have used that spot. We will only be allowing one Direct Sales representative per company. This applies to all pandemic-related changes, as well.

All vendors must supply their own tables, chairs and tent canopies (if desired). Tent canopies must be properly weighted at ALL times. Festival organizers reserve the right to ask that any tent canopy deemed unsafe be taken down. Tent canopies are set up on paved areas. Electricity will only be available in a few areas. If you need electricity please submit your application ASAP as these spaces fill quickly. You will need to supply your own extension cords.

All booths and activities will be located outdoors in front of the school building. Booth assignments and arrival/set-up instructions will be emailed on or before October 11, 2025. PLEASE NOTE: We will be assigning arrival/set-up times based on your booth location. Make sure to include an email address with your application. Nobody will be permitted to break down prior to 3:00 pm, or drive in the festival/crafter area prior to 3:30 pm; this has been a huge safety problem in the past. If this is the case, we reserve the right to ban you from future events as well as be cited by local police.

Crafter row is a ONE-WAY street.  ALL traffic must flow from the bus loop moving East towards the opposite side of the school both for set-up and take down.  Vendors will be assigned waves for arrival and removal of items from their booth spaces.  Crafters with wagons for entry and exit are permitted at any time. 

The deadline for submitting your application for booth space and payment is Auguet 30, 2025. Due to the popularity of the Festival, spaces fill quickly. All assignments are on a first-come first-served basis. Payments may be remitted by check, money order or credit card (via PayPal), check or money order.

3. Each exhibitor who will be offering consumable items (cakes, cookies, chocolates, etc) will be required to provide a Certificate of Insurance.  Additionally, consumable items must be packaged "to go" and a sign must be visible on your booth that items are to be enjoyed off-site.  COI's must be submitted no later than September 1, 2025 to info@midlothianmoms.com.

4. Each exhibitor shall have his/her car unloaded and moved from the unloading area by 8:00 am. Arrival/unloading times will be assigned based on booth location. The driveway will be closed at this time. Exhibitors arriving after 8:00 am will have to park at Winfree Baptist Church or Mt. Pisgah Church on Midlothian Turnpike. There will be no exceptions.
