St. Mary’s Catholic Church Festival 2023
Welcome to our largest fundraiser of the year! We are over the moon with excitement as we plan this year’s festivities. The date is set for Sunday, April 23, 2023 with activities from 11 am to 8 pm. Please take a few moments to read this entirely and carefully. First, we are expecting a greater response from the community and our church families in support of our endeavors. The campus will be overflowing with live music, games, face painting, petting zoo, a beer garden, food trucks and various craft vendors. The highly anticipated carnival rides will be back with a new ride called The Wrecking Ball! We’re also looking forward to teaming up with Rescue Magazine to host a Puppy Adoption during the festival.

Vendor Information
We are offering indoor and outdoor spaces for craft vendors. Spaces are rented on a first come, first served basis. The vendor set up for both craft and food vendors will be on Sunday, April 23rd beginning at 7 am until 10 am only (due to our outdoor Mass beginning at 10 am, we want to minimize movement of our campus during this time). Everyone is welcome to join us in our celebration of Mass under the huge Oak tree. All vendors need to be set up and ready to go by 11 am.
All applications and fees are due by February 28, 2023. Vendor fees will be non-refundable after March 10, 2023. If the Church cancels the event for any reason, vendor fees will be refunded.
