  • Who Qualifies as a Crafter?
    A crafter or artisan is someone who makes items by hand. This can include, but not limited to, woodworking, painting, knitting/sewing, jewelry, bottled food, art, etc… If you are questioning whether you qualify as a crafter, please visit our “Crafters” page or contact YardleyHarvestDayFest@gmail.com. **A good rule of thumb is if you have registered as an LLC, CO, INC, etc. and/or have employees you are considered a business. We also don’t consider franchise operators such as Avon and Colorcraft as well as repurposers as crafters.
  • Can I Charge For A Service as a Crafter/Business During the Event? Ex: Face Painting, Caricatures, Hair/Makeup, etc.
    NO. This is strictly banned in all Yardley Harvest Day contracts. You will be asked to leave immediately as well as be barred from tabling in the future if you sell services that are not pre-approved by the Harvest Day Committee. Your items must be made prior to event day.
  • Can I Promote A Company As A Crafter?
    NO. This is against our crafter’s contract and you will be asked to leave if found promoting a business as a crafter among other consequences if applicable.
  • Who Qualifies As A Business Vendor?
    Selling a service or manufactured/wholesale product is considered a business, this includes small, midsize, and large companies. If you have questions about becoming a business vendor, please contact YardleyHarvestDayFestival@gmail.com
  • What is the cancellation policy?
    Yardley Harvest Day is a rain or shine event. However, the Harvest Day Committee will not stage the event if the forecast calls for heavy winds AND steady rain. We will make the call in the early morning of the Thursday before Harvest Day. We will notify all participants via email, news, and social media if we decide to postpone Harvest Day. The event is on if you don’t hear from us.
  • What is the refund policy?
    All crafter and food vendors are entitled to refunds if Harvest Day is rained out on both the original date as well as the makeup date. No refunds will be given to participants who cannot make the rain date. Tote-bag and T-shirt sponsors are automatically rolled over to the next year’s event and are not entitled to refunds after the products have been printed. Other sponsors have the option to receive a refund or rollover their payments to next year if both dates are rained out.
    All participants who choose to rollover their fee are guaranteed their space next year, depending on borough street availability. All participants who choose a refund lose their incumbent rights to a space and are not guaranteed a slot in the next year’s event.
  • Can I Get Money Off If I Don’t Need/Want Certain Benefits?
    No. We do not offer modifications to our contracts.
  • Can I Vend as a Alcoholic Beverage Company?
    No. You should contact the Yardley Beer and Wine Festival.
  • Is Electricity or Water Available?
    No, however, it may be possible to purchase power or a water line from a nearby resident. The Harvest Day Committee plays no role in these deals.
  • Are Dogs Allowed?
    Yes! We’d love for your pets to come! Please ensure dogs are leashed and follow borough regulations. Be sure to visit our pet section on Afton Ave!
  • I tried to register for Yardley Harvest Day but got rejected. Why?
    The Yardley Harvest Day Committee each year grants renewal rights to prior year participants. A large majority of crafters choose to come back, which limits the number of available spaces. The inventory of spaces also is impacted by Borough regulations, the loss of use of some private property, and the number of food trucks. We also put a cap on the number of crafters in popular categories such as wreaths, signs, woodworking, tumblers, soaps, candles, baked goods, etc.
