12pm - 7pm
This year we have expanded the sustainability aspect of HotoberFest by developing our World Market concept. Running the perimeter of the festival area, the World Market is a circular path for attendees to stroll, reaching all of the festival amenities of the day.
In order to travel the world, of course you need a PASSPORT. HotoberFest PASSPORTS are free to everyone and are the gateway to registration for some great prizes. Throughout the day, visit a few tables or booths from each portion of the Market, get a stamp from at least one of the artists, sponsors or affiliates, add your email address and turn in your PASSPORT. This process encourages everyone to take a few minutes to see all of our Market and registers you for the prizes to be given away.
The World Market includes:
Sustainability Affiliates, displaying information on a wide variety of earth friendly ideas and products
Food & Beer Vendors, enjoy a wide variety of snacks, meals and quality beers from multiple vendors
Artist Market, nationally recognized Artists whose works are based in sustainability
Live music featuring a variety of musical genres
There is No Charge for entry to the public areas of the event. For retail beer sales only, a reusable commemorative cup can be purchased for $1, which will be donated to our non-profit affiliates. No outside food or alcohol will be allowed into any part of the festival area.
