It is once again time for the Old Oak Festival.

This year’s festival will be held April 12-14, 2019 on the campus of Tusculum University. We are hoping for a beautiful spring weekend for our festival this year! We have planned our usual events: all weekend live musical entertainment, food, artisans, crafters, and more. Amusements and entertainments for children will be held on Saturday and Sunday. A chapel service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday for Palm Sunday by Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

Accompanying this letter, you will find further event information and an application to reserve booth space. Please make note of the deadline and booth category fee charges. The deadline to reserve booth space is March 22nd. Beginning this year, we will require a $25.00 non-refundable registration fee to reserve EACH booth space. Please fill out the accompanying form and send it in along with a check made payable to Tusculum University to the address below. In addition to the

$25.00 non-refundable registration fee, vendors will pay the standard Old Oak percentage of sales at the conclusion of the festival (10% of sales (outside booth) or 15% of sales (inside booth)). All monies owed to Tusculum University must be paid by 4 pm on Sunday, April 14, 2019. No booth spaces will be reserved without payment. Inside booths will be assigned on a first come/first serve basis. All vendors are subject to approval by the Old Oak Festival Committee. All items displayed must be handmade (author exception).

We do extensive advertising and promotion for our festival. Please be committed to remaining for all scheduled vending hours and days (Friday-12:00 to 8:00, Saturday 10:00 to 8:00, Sunday 10:00 to 4:00). We cannot guarantee nice weather, so please come prepared and ready to see it through. You are welcome to set up on Friday morning starting at 8:30 am.

We look forward to seeing you and hope you plan to join us this year!
