A Once-in-a-Summer Opportunity!

Each summer, The Erie Blues and Jazz Festival draws thousands of attendees from the Erie region and beyond. The ample foot traffic throughout the weekend means plenty of opportunities to sell to (often quite eager!) customers. If you'd like to become a vendor at this year's event, please fill out the application form.

Apply by May 31, 2026, to secure your spot for the full two-day event.
