Dear Food Vendors:
We invite you to participate in the 2026 Tumbleweed Music Festival. This year’s event will be held on Friday evening through Sunday of Labor Day weekend, September 4 – 6, 2026, at Howard Amon Park, in Richland, Washington.
The festival is free and open to the public. The Three Rivers Folklife Society has sponsored the festival each year since 1997, and the City of Richland co-sponsors the event. We feature live acoustic music from four outdoor and two indoor (music / dance) stages, arts and crafts vendors, and of course, festival food. We estimate about 4,000 people attended the 2025 festival, and we expect at least the same number in 2026. This will be the 30th year for the Tumbleweed Music Festival, and it has gained a reputation as one of the best small music festivals in the Northwest.
We have a limited number of spaces for food vendors based on earliest application and avoidance of duplicate food offerings. Our food vendor fee is $150.00, with an additional optional $10.00 fee for being included on our City of Richland business license.
Accepted vendors will receive a packet with pertinent information in August.
In general, vendors will need to be set up and have all vehicles off the grounds by 11:00 AM Saturday and Sunday. Outdoor performances will end about 10:30 pm on Saturday and at 8:00 pm Sunday, and we encourage you to stay open during the evening concerts. Vendors are expected to attend both days, and may set up to be there during the Friday evening concert (which begins at 6:00 pm), as well, with setup Friday at special request, beginning at 3:00 pm. Bring lights, because well-lit booths get much better business.
