Día de Muertos 2026: Artisan Vendor Submissions Open!

DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 28, 2026

Fishers Arts Council's 3rd annual Día de Muertos cultural experiences expands in 2026 as we partner with Fishers Parks' Boo Bash! While we will still offer activities like contributions (ofrendas) to the community altar, live music, we'll be adding artisan vendors to the experience. Artisan vendor submissions can be made by clicking here If you do not receive a confirmation email immediately after your submission, reach out to info@fishersartscouncil.org

Fishers Parks' Boo Bash event brings 5,000-10,000 patrons to the Municipal Complex each year for this annual family favorite. Artisans will be grouped together outside on the Central Green and inside Fishers Municipal Center. Limited spaces are available and we will avoid repeated vendors.

All artists MUST submit a BOOTH PHOTO in the online application in addition to photos of what you wish to sell at your booth. All items MUST be HANDMADE; prints of the artist's original work are permitted.

Resale items are NOT permitted.
