Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact address?
The festival is held at Tappan Lake Park. Point your GPS to: 84000 Mallarnee Rd., Deersville, OH 44693.
Do vendors accept credit cards?
Some vendors accept cards, but many small farms and rural makers can only accept cash. We highly recommend bringing cash to make sure you don't miss out on your favorite treasures and to help our artisans avoid credit card fees. An ATM is available on-site at the park if needed.
Is the festival handicap accessible?
Yes. The main walkways are fully asphalt-paved, making them navigable for wheelchairs and strollers. However, please note that individual vendor booths are set up on the lawn, so you will need to cross short stretches of grass to browse. Festival parking is also located in grass.
