Vendor Applications

Download and complete the vendor application PDF linked from the Goshen Fair's Vendor Application page (goshenfair.org/vendor-application). The fair states plainly that it will not accept payment until you are an approved vendor, and adds an explicit anti-fraud warning: "We will never ask for you to provide payment over the web or phone. Beware of the scammers." The 2026 fair runs Saturday September 5, Sunday September 6 and Monday September 7, 2026 — always Labor Day weekend — at 116 Old Middle Street, Goshen, CT 06756. Enquiries: secretary@goshenfair.org or 860-491-3655. Two navigation cautions for anyone following links on this site. First, the application form itself is a SCANNED IMAGE PDF with no machine-readable text (goshenfair.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/venapp.pdf, uploaded July 2026), so the rate table and any dates it contains cannot be read without opening it visually — they are not reproduced here because they were not readable. Second, the site's own "Fair Info" landing page (goshenfair.org/fair-info/) currently serves an unedited Thrive Themes demo template — placeholder "Moon 2.0" marketing copy and Lorem ipsum, not fair content — so use the specific Vendor Application page rather than the Fair Info index.
