Bear City Fall Festival
The vendor application is now live online for our 2026 festival!
We have several options to sign up to be a vendor.
Our application and payment is online here.
If you would rather print the form and mail it in with a check, the printable form is here.
And finally, you can stop in the office and there are good old-fashioned paper copies of the form there you can fill out and make payment.
One notable change this year is the approval of Food Vendors.
If you are a Food Vendor, please fill out the registration form, but you will NOT be able to make payment online. Your form is subject to approval. If you are approved you will be sent a payment link for you to make payment at that time.
Please note for both Vendors and attendees:
Per City Ordinance Section 205.335. Animals Prohibited At City Sponsored Or Sanctioned Public Gathering.
[Ord. No. 1492 § IV, 8-20-2015]
Okay…this is one I’m REALLY excited about! We’re adding something completely new to this year’s Bear City Fall Festival, "The 76 General Store"!
If you’ve ever been to Silver Dollar City and wandered through the General Store, you know the feeling I’m talking about. That old-fashioned, come-on-in-and-see-what’s-happening kind of place.
Well, we’re bringing a little bit of that feeling to our Bear City Fall Festival right here in Willow Springs!
The 76 General Store will be located inside the Star Annex, where the Chamber office is located, and we’re filling it with things that just feel like the Ozarks.
You’ll find locally made items, handmade goods, and some good old-fashioned craftsmanship, but we’re also going to have people actually making things!
We will have pie-making demonstrations, pottery demonstrations, & lots of locally made goods...and we’re still adding more!
I love the idea of having a place at the festival where you can walk in, slow down for a minute, watch someone create something, maybe pick up something made right here in our area, and just enjoy that true General Store vibe.
And honestly…who doesn’t love a little Silver Dollar City-style fun without having to drive to Branson?
So when you’re making your list of things to see and do at this year's Bear City Fall Festival, make sure the 76 General Store is on it!
Come see what we’re putting together. I think this is going to be a really fun addition to the festival!
