Dragonstone Springs is proud to host both local small businesses and world-traveled artists and artisans. One of the highlights of the Arkansas Renaissance Festival is discovering incredible handcrafted goods, unique artwork, and one-of-a-kind treasures you simply won’t find anywhere else.

As we continue to grow, we make it a priority to listen to feedback from our vendors and community. While we are proud of the growth we’ve experienced over our first two seasons, we also recognize that attendance has not yet reached the long-term levels we believe this festival will achieve. Because of that, some vendors found the current fee structure more challenging than we intended.

We firmly believe that a great festival depends on successful vendors. When our vendors thrive, our guests have a better experience, and the entire community benefits. With that in mind, we are excited to announce a reduction in vendor fees for the upcoming season.

Vendors can now join Arkansas Renaissance Festival for less than $65 per day across all 14 festival days. Our goal is to make it easier for talented artisans, makers, performers, and merchants to participate while continuing to build one of Arkansas’s premier festival destinations.

As Dragonstone Springs grows, we want our vendors to grow with us. This fee adjustment is just one of many investments we are making to strengthen the festival experience for vendors, performers, and guests alike.

If you’re interested in becoming a vendor at Arkansas Renaissance Festival or any of our events at Dragonstone Springs, email [email protected] or visit arrenfest.com/sell for more information.

Our story is still being written, and we’d love for you to help us tell it!

We’re gathering folks for the 2026 season at the Arkansas Renaissance Festival, and there’s a place here for all kinds of people! Come find out where you fit at our Information Meeting on Saturday, June 20th at 10:00 AM, right on the grounds at Dragonstone Springs (275 Adkisson Road, Mount Vernon).

Here’s who we’re looking for:

CAST: Step into our 16th-century village as Townsfolk, Viking, Pirate, Traveler, Faye, or Court. Full-season cast members get mentorship, training, and our performer development program. If you’ve ever wanted to build a character and live inside a story for a weekend at a time, this is for you!

VOLUNTEERS: Y’all are the reason this place runs: Workdays on the grounds, help at the gate, event setup, ribbon-making, support at outreach events. There’s a spot for every set of hands!

EDUCATIONAL ARTISANS: We’re looking for practitioners of historical period crafts AND keepers of indigenous/Ozark folk practices. We’re interested in preserving the kind of knowledge that doesn’t always make it to the next generation. If you carry skills like that, we want to talk with you about joining our living history area.

VENDORS: Do you have a handmade craft that you've been looking for the perfect market for? Look no further than Dragonstone Springs! Come and find out how to share your unique wares with our amazing patrons as a merchant at Arkansas Renaissance Festival!

PERFORMER: Whether you have a show stopping stage show or are looking to interact with patrons up and down the lanes, we have the perfect place to showcase your unique talents! We would love to see the amazing things you can do to make Arkansas Renaissance Festival the most magical place in Arkansas!

Come be part of what we’re building out here. We can’t wait to meet you!
