WHY BECOME A VENDOR?

We are inviting food trucks and food vendors, retail and business vendors, artisans and makers, and community organizations and nonprofits to join our vendor village. This is a chance to share your food, goods, art, or mission with families, community members, and culture lovers across Kalamazoo — and to stand alongside a living tradition of Black joy and resilience. Black- and Brown-owned businesses are especially encouraged to apply.
