FESTIVAL OVERVIEW:  This year, "What the Fluff? A Tribute to Union Square Invention,” a nationally recognized and locally beloved madcap and funky festival, celebrates the 17th anniversary of Fluff Festival. This year's theme, "Fluff at First Sight: Back on Track," celebrates everyone's first love Fluff, as well as the opening of the Green Line station, which will allow more folks to discover the festival for the first time and perhaps fall in love with Fluff and Union Square... at First Sight.

Craft vendors are strongly encouraged to present handmade products that relate to this year’s theme and have a Fluff component.

Food vendors are strongly encouraged to present food products that use Marshmallow Fluff as an ingredient. All food products must be prepared in a licensed kitchen. Upon acceptance, food vendors will receive instructions on how to apply for the City’s temporary food permit. Vendors are expected to comply with all health regulations.

Festival organizers also reserve the right as sole purveyor at the Festival of fluffernutter sandwiches.

All vendors are required to pay a $15 non-refundable application fee. Applications submitted without payment are considered incomplete, and are not eligible for acceptance. Payments can be made online here: https://www.unionsquaremain.org/store/fluff-festival-vendor-application-fee

Vendor fees are due upon acceptance. Vendors will receive a link to pay their vendor fee along with their acceptance notice.

Setup & Breakdown: On the day of the event, setup will begin at 1:30pm. All vendors must be ready for the Festival to start at 3pm. Breakdown begins promptly at 7pm. The premises must be cleared by 8pm.

In the unlikely event that the Festival needs to be cancelled for public health reasons, vendor fees will be applied with automatic acceptance to the 2023 Fluff Festival.
