Denton’s Day of the Dead Festival is a fall-themed festival celebrating the many things that fall brings us: the harvest, Halloween, and the Dia de los Muertos celebration. This event will be free and full of activities. Your booth helps us keep this event FREE to the public. Thank you!

Saturday October 26th, 2024 from 11am – 9pm

Set-up will begin as early as 7am and all booths must be completed by 10:30am

Once approved as a vendor, you will receive a follow up email closer to festival date that will provide you with your booth space, a map, load in directions and other important directions.

Industrial Street: $175

Upper Parking Lot: $150

Pumpkin Patch Lot on Oak St.: $150

In years past, many vendors request to be placed on Industrial Street, but we only have a limited amount of space on that street. Therefore the placement will go as follows:

You may request to be placed on Industrial in your application. If approved as a vendor, you will pay an increased price of $175. Once those spots are full, the remaining vendors who request Industrial will be notified that is no longer an option. All other vendors will be placed in the upper parking lot between Wells Fargo and the Pumpkin Patch, closer to the coffin races. Those spaces will remain at $150.
