Vendor applications are now open for the 2026 Cave City Watermelon Festival, offering food trucks, craft vendors, and local businesses the opportunity to take part in one of North Central Arkansas’s largest summer festivals.
Festival organizer Amy Finster said the committee is excited to welcome a diverse lineup of vendors again this year. “The Cave City Watermelon Festival committee is so grateful to have so many wonderful vendors — whether it’s food, crafts, or one-of-a-kind items,” Finster said. “Space is limited, and we can’t wait to see what this year holds.”
Festival officials encourage interested vendors to visit the festival’s official website and social media pages for application links and participation guidelines.
Organizers say vendors play a vital role in creating the family-friendly atmosphere that draws thousands of visitors to Cave City each year. The Cave City Watermelon Festival features live music, children’s activities, contests, local food, and community entertainment, attracting both local residents and out-of-town guests. Organizers say they look forward to welcoming returning vendors while introducing new businesses and makers in 2026.
Community members are also encouraged to share festival updates and tag vendors who may be interested in applying. Additional announcements about entertainment and activities will be released in the coming months.
