After a difficult selection process, the list of vendors is finally here! Over 60 local artisan vendors will bring their wonderful creations to GO WEST! Craft Fest this fall, like jewelry, accessories, ceramics, soaps, candles, home goods, clothing, prints, cards and much more. We've included tried-and-true favorites as well as some new surprises. Preview the list, then meet the artists and check out their work in person, September 29 at the Woodlands.
Vendors: if you were accepted for this show, please check your listing and let us know if we need to make any corrections. If you missed the application deadline, you may still apply for future shows. The next GO WEST! will be at the Rotunda on December 15, and we intend to do it again in the spring and fall as well. Sign up for the VIX Emporium newsletter to receive updates as they become available.
We are still looking to accept one or two more fabulous FOOD trucks or vendors, preferably those who emphasize local, sustainable and responsibly sourced ingredients, presented in artful, skillful and individual ways (e.g. not the ordinary hot dog/pretzel/water ice sellers). Their focus should be main lunch or brunch dishes, as we have already confirmed West Philly's own award-winning Lil'Pop Shop for dessert! Food vendors must be fully licensed and certified in the city of Philadelphia. If you are interested in being considered, please get in touch at gowestcraftfest@gmail.com.
We can't wait to see you at GO WEST! Meanwhile, stay tuned for profiles of some of our inventive vendors, entertainers and other highlights!
The Fall 2016 edition of Go West Craft Fest is Saturday, October 1 (rain date Oct. 2) at the Woodlands, 40th & Woodland in West Philadelphia. Featuring 80+ local makers, live music, acrobatic performances and children's activities, Go West is open to the public and free to attend.
