The vendors on the grounds of the Homestead are non-profit groups designated by the CH Moore Homestead Board. The groups in many years, can raise an entire year's budget from the weekend and for others, it is the biggest fundraiser they have. Just a portion of their proceeds go back to the Homestead, otherwise, the groups keep their profits.

This year's festival is September 26-27.
