Local makers, food trucks, artists, and small businesses have a fresh opportunity to get in front of thousands of visitors this spring and summer. Applications are now open for vendors interested in participating in the annual Mac Arnold Blues Festival and the seasonal Fountain Inn Farmers Market.

Organizers say both events continue to grow each year, drawing crowds from across the Golden Strip and beyond. With strong community support and steady foot traffic, vendors can expect high visibility and a vibrant atmosphere centered around music, food, and local entrepreneurship.

The Mac Arnold Blues Festival has become one of Fountain Inn’s signature events. Celebrating blues music and local culture, the festival typically features live performances, food vendors, craft booths, and family-friendly activities throughout the day.

Named after blues legend Mac Arnold, the festival blends nationally recognized talent with local musicians, creating an energetic, small-town-meets-big-stage experience. For vendors, it offers:

• Large, diverse crowds

• Strong community engagement

• A festive, music-driven environment

• Opportunity to connect with new customers

Organizers are seeking food vendors, artisans, retail merchants, nonprofits, and specialty exhibitors who align with the event’s community-focused atmosphere.
