Splash Festivals specializes in producing outdoor arts and crafts festivals with a focus on unique, fun and often whimsical artwork. Each colorful event is family friendly and will include festival cuisine and a lively Kidz Zone for young festival-goers.
Our shows have very creative personalities. Acceptable categories are candles, clay, culinary arts, digital, fiber, folk art, glass, jewelry, leather, living plants, metal, mixed media, paintings, photography, soaps/lotions/balms and wood. We require that all exhibitors hand make their products, except for Georgia Grown members with culinary goods. Absolutely no buy-sell artwork is allowed. The artisans and makers must be present in their booth during the show. We do not allow representatives to take their place.

Street Performers
Street performers enhance the visitor experience at our festivals and we welcome them to apply. Street performers may be musicians who play acoustic or other string instruments, mime performers, balloon twisters, juggling, magic, stilt walkers, etc. You must supply your own equipment, including a tent, table or chairs (if necessary), power and amplification. Due to the nature of the events being art festivals, we will restrict the amplification volume so as not to interfere with the artists and their customers. We will provide a suitable location and may choose to have you shift locations depending on the amount of time you perform. You will be required to provide a short video or a link to your recorded video. To apply, please send your video to splashfestivals@gmail.com.

Sponsors
We produce eight whimsical and fun arts and crafts festivals, and the sponsors who participate in a Splash Festivals celebration of the arts enjoy the personal connection they receive from the thousands of affluent attendees who visit their vibrant activation booths. These generous businesses truly help our family-friendly events make a colorful splash in the north Atlanta communities we service. A wide range of companies join us each spring and fall to showcase their products and services, which allows them to promote their organizations to an educated consumer – which is smart marketing.
Our Splash Festivals outdoor shows continue to receive accolades and awards for community spirit, great sales, southern hospitality – and of course – the imaginative personality which these events exude – thanks to the continued trust of these incredible partners, whose dollars help us with a broad media campaign. Check out our entire line-up of colorful Georgia festivals and let us know how we can help you shine – join our sponsorship family today!
