Month: March 2018

Accepting Exhibitor Applications for Earth Day 2018 (due April 2)

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR ARTISANS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR HOME IN THE THOMAS FIRE

As Ojai and Ventura County Residents recover from the Thomas fire and flood, there has been a surge of interest in habitat restoration, sustainability and local engagement. With our new location, Libbey Park, in the heart of downtown Ojai, and a coalition of environmental non-profits co-marketing the event, 2018’s Earth day is on track to draw record participants.

We are curating a select group of non-profits, artisans, and purveyors of products and services that share in the values of Earth Day. You are invited to participate by applying for your booth space today.

There are a limited number of spaces available. Our new “village” style layout, grouping exhibitors in thematic villages, holds and fosters visitor engagement and attention.

Booth Spaces are 10×10 or as specified. Vendors must provide their own canopy, tables and all amenities. Power not available onsite.
