The 41st Annual FireAnt Festival will be held on October 12, 2024, at the Historic Harrison County Courthouse from 7:00a.m. to 10:00p.m.  The Festival Committee anticipates another record setting year with extensive advertising this year!

As in past years, all vendor requests will be accepted by the FireAnt Festival staff and be juried prior to acceptance in this year’s event.  You are asked to submit either a detailed menu (food vendors) or a list of products with three photos (product vendors).  If two vendors are sharing a booth, BOTH vendors must each submit three photographs.

• Deadline for receipt of application for food vendors is September 27, 2024.  Deadline for product vendors September 27, 2024. 
• A booth will not be assigned without a completed application, FULL PAYMENT and jury approval.
• Please send in your application early as we will limit the TOTAL number of food vendors to maximize profits for our vendors.

• If you submit a payment online, YOU MUST ALSO COMPLETE A WRITTEN APPLICATION FORM, SUBMIT A MENU AND PHOTOS before you will be accepted or assigned a space! There are NO exceptions to this rule for any vendor. Please see the links below for those forms. 
• In order to maximize the profit opportunity for each exhibitor, we attempt to limit the number of vendors with the same or similar products. For example, there is ONLY ONE inflatable bounce house vendor. We request 3 photos of your merchandise with detailed plans to be emailed to info@marshalltexas.com or mailed with your application and payment.  Booths may not be changed without permission from the staff.
• All sales transactions must be made by the vendor. The sales tax rate is 8.25%.  Each vendor is responsible for collection and payment of Texas sales tax.
• The FireAnt Festival provides security on Friday, October 11, 2024, from 10:00p.m. to Saturday, October 12, 2024, at 6:00am, but we are not liable for any loss or damage.
