Welcome Potential Vendor!!
Some of you may be new to our Festival and some of you may be returning friends. Either way – Welcome! The Festival will be held rain or shine Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3, 2011 once again on the tree-lined Helotes Festival Grounds. Last year’s event was a huge success – we had beautiful weather which attracted crowds of around 5,000 for the weekend including the hundreds of volunteers who helped make the event possible.
Our vendors are an important component of the Festival and we are always working to ensure that we have a large variety of offerings. The Athletic Games, Music, Food, and Celtic Vendors all combine to create the successful cultural event that it is. We are expecting record crowds at the 2010 San Antonio Celtic Festival and Highland Games.
The SAGHA Board of Directors works every year to balance the needs of the athletes, vendors, guests, performers and service providers. As a result, we make changes and adjustments to the layout and location of features at the Festival every year. This year we are planning on making some significant changes to our grounds layout. In years past we have had Clans near the front gate shut down early on Saturday and Sunday, which makes patrons coming later in the day think that the festival is closed or winding down. In an effort to bring in more customers late into the day, we are going to be mixing vendors in with the clans, and clans in with the vendors. This will help give the appearance to festival latecomers that there are still plenty of activities occurring on the grounds to justify the entry fee. We understand that some of you have been in the same location for many years; however, we feel that this change will help all of us be as successful as we can.
