Final booth registration for commercial, craft and community groups wishing to display or sell items at the upcoming Summer in the City Festival have until Tuesday, July 5, to complete their application.

According to Vickie Phillipson, Chamber of Commerce & DDA program director, the July 21-24 festival opens Thursday evening with a special two-hour concert by American Idol contender Jared Knox, followed by two days of entertainment, family events and sidewalk sales, as a community praise jam wraps up the summertime gala on Sunday.

Headquartered in the downtown, vendor space is available for Friday and Saturday, July 22 and 23.  The Chamber’s oldest and largest summertime festival is truly a family-oriented event featuring 40 hours of entertainment and action sports.

Registration is being taken for craft, commercial, non-profit and food vendor booth space, which measures approximately 10-feet on the street. Phillipson said this is a great opportunity for businesses and community organizations to take center stage, as they network with the community they serve.

Booth space is $30 per day.  Applications are available by calling (269) 782.8212, by e-mail at vphillipson@Dowagiac.org.
