BEVERAGE VENDOR APPLICATION

We are excited to host our 10th annual Lake County Craft Beer Festival. Each year we have seen steady growth in new vendors and attendees - we anticipate 2500 guests this year. We encourage local home breweries, large breweries, distilleries, and wineries to take a night off from their busy schedules and join us for a night to market your product and sample other like products inside our 65,000 square foot expo hall.

We also have a wide array of sponsorship opportunities! Please contact us for more information.
