Arts and Craft Fair Details:

Booth Spaces are 10 ft. x10 ft. Exhibitors are responsible for providing their own tents and displays, such as tables, hangers, boards, crates, sandbags, etc. There is no electricity available at booths.
No food vendors or direct sales vendors will be accepted.
All tents must be weighed down and tables must be covered to the ground on all sides.
Security will be present throughout the night but the Wheaton Park District is not responsible for lost or stolen items (including tents).
This event will be held rain or shine and there is no rain site. Artists are encouraged to have suitable materials to protect work from inclement weather.
Exhibitors must be 18 years or older and must display for the duration of the show.
Booths must be set-up by 4P on Friday and disassembled and packed away by 7P on Sunday. If you are not set up by 4P on Friday, you will not be able to begin set up until 9A on Saturday. Streets in the area will be closed to accommodate the Cosley Zoo Run for the Animals 5K/10K and you will not have access to your booth until that time. If you set up on Saturday, you will not be able to pull your car close to the booth due to the road closures.
The Wheaton Park District reserves the right to make the final decision on vendors, and applying does not guarantee acceptance.
Once your application is submitted, 3 photos of your work must be sent to events@wheatonparks.org.

Wheaton Park District

Mission Statement:

To enrich the quality of community life through a diversity of healthy leisure pursuits and heightened appreciation for our natural world.

The Wheaton Park District was established as a separate municipal body by the citizens of Wheaton in 1921. Land for its first park, Memorial Park, was purchased in 1921, with Southside (now Central) Park acquired in 1922, and Northside Park soon after. Through both acquisition and donation, the district increased its park acres to 94 by 1970. Today the citizens of the district enjoy 52 park sites totaling more than 800 acres.

The Wheaton Park District has been fortunate to experience rapid growth in both physical (land and facilities) and fiscal wealth (assessed valuation). Now that future growth is limited by the lack of land available for development, it should be much easier to predict our financial future, barring any major legislative changes in the park district code.

The Wheaton Park District has one of the finest park systems in the state and has been recognized four times during the past 20 years by the National Park & Recreation Association with the National Gold Medal for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management (2005, 1996, 1990 and 1984), the Illinois Park and Recreation Association’s Distinguished Agency Award (1999), the National Recreation and Park Association Excellence in Aquatics Award (1992) and Illinois Park and Recreation Association Outstanding Facility Award (1993) for Rice Pool and Water Park, and the Daniel Flaherty Award (1993 and 1990) and the U.S. Department of Interior Innovation Award (1993) for the Lincoln Marsh Wetlands Project.
