What is Fallfest?
Fallfest is a one-day family event that includes hundreds of craft booths, music, food, children’s activities, and more.
Fallfest is a fundraiser with proceeds from the craft booth fees going to the Polk State College Foundation. The Foundation financially supports Polk State College’s students and educational mission in many ways, including establishing scholarships and purchasing equipment.
Many student organizations also participate and raise funds from the sale of food or other items.
What can I sell at my Fallfest craft booth?
Fallfest is open to anyone wishing to sell handmade or homemade crafts. We do not accept flea market-type merchandise. Food cannot be sold at your craft booth because Polk State College student organizations have the food concessions at Fallfest. However, we do make available the Polk State College General Store, which is a special selection of homemade specialty foods.
Our Fallfest Committee will review your craft application to see if you conform to our rules.
