a cause that benefits local students.

The total number of vendors varies each year and depends on registrations received before the August 21 deadline. We intentionally create a balanced vendor marketplace to provide attendees with a wide variety of shopping, dining, and community experiences.

We strive to provide a diverse shopping experience for our guests. While we cannot guarantee category exclusivity, we intentionally limit unnecessary duplication whenever possible to give vendors a better opportunity to connect with customers and a better experience with attendees.

Applications are reviewed on a first-approved basis, so we encourage vendors to apply early.

• Building brand awareness
• Collecting leads and email sign-ups
• Networking with other businesses and community organizations
• Establishing relationships that lead to future sales

Every business has different goals, and Oasis Fun Fest is designed to provide opportunities for both immediate and long-term growth.
