GRAND PARADE
The parade will go on rain or
shine! Use your own discretion as to whether or not you want to
participate. Only dangerous weather will cause a cancellation. No
refunds will be given.
BOOTH VENDORS
Food Booths: Set up at your designated time. If unable, contact
Sharon immediately for further instructions.
Arts/Crafts/Businesses: Setup at your designated time. If you
choose to set up after 10:00AM, then you will need to walk items to
your booth space, as Mercer is closed.
On Sunday, booths can be set up from 7:00AM-10:00AM.
No refunds will be given. We expect this festival to continue
rain or shine. Rain did not deter our founders on the wagon trail to
Dripping Springs, and it will not deter our community's largest
festival of the year!
