Spruce Hill Community Association May Fair

The Spruce Hill Community Association will hold its 68th annual May Fair Saturday May 9th, 2026 at Clark Park from 12:00 – 6:00 pm between 43rd and Chester Avenue. Support local vendors, artisans, community groups and organizations seeking to do outreach and promotion. 

Space is limited and priority will be given to local community organizations and artisans. 

PLEASE NOTE: No second-hand good or commercial products. This is a day to showcase works that local artisans have produced themselves. ***Please note that we are unable to accept vendorapplications from businesses/organizations that plan to sell prepared food or beverage items at tables due to Health Department regulations in relation to our permitting process for the Fair. Food vendors with a free-standing and separately permitted truck/cart may still be able to participate. If you have a truck/cart, please contact us to discuss this further with you.***

To submit an application, please complete this form by midnight **Sunday May 3rd**. https://forms.gle/J153xJfmuWuszCAMA

We provide a 6-foot table, table covering and one chair in a 10-foot space for the day. We assign locations and will give notice regarding table location by e-mail a few days before the event. Guidelines: No displays on the ground. No recorded music or generators. 

Applications will be reviewed in the order received and if you are selected to participate, you will receive e-mail notification along with instructions for online payment submission. 

If selected, please plan to arrive after 10:30AM to give us time to set up. Look for parking in lots around SJU (formerly USciences) and Woodland Avenue. NO vehicles in the park under any circumstances.

Our policy is to work around any threatening showers if at all possible and hold the event as planned. However, if there is significant rain, we will have to cancel the event and if you choose, you can be given a refund of 50% of the vendor fee. You may also elect to donate the remainder of the vendor fee. We cannot provide a full refund as we are an all volunteer non-profit community organization and will have already outlaid money for May Fair expenses including table rental deposits. If we need to cancel, you will be notified as soon as the decision is made so you can plan accordingly. Your submission of the form indicates your acceptance of these terms.
