Interested in Becoming a Vendor?
If you are interested in becoming a 2026 Native Rhythms Festival vendor, click here to go directly down to the links you need to download the vendor rules and agreement form.
As we look down this page, we can imagine that we’re wandering through our Vendor Village under the pines in Wickham Park, just to the east of the amphitheater (off the right side of the photo), with the breeze carrying the music from the stage out among the tents. Keep that image in mind while you wander down among our 2026 vendors listed below. You can quickly pass (scroll) by or stop in and get a quick idea of what’s available from the descriptions included for each vendor.
We encourage you to visit our vendors’ websites often.
The following vendors have registered to participate in the 2026 Native Rhythms Festival. Watch this page as new vendors come on board to join this year’s list of outstanding flute makers, jewelers, artists, and craftspeople. Join our Native Rhythms Festival Facebook group to receive notification when new vendors are added to this list: www.facebook.com/Native.Rhythms.Festival/
Here are some shortcuts to the individual neighborhoods in our village:
Notice to Vendors
Please read the 2026 Vendor Rules carefully. As at our recent festivals, we continue to be sensitive to vendor compliance with the 2010 amendment to the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (IACA) of 1990 and to the City of Melbourne’s strict enforcement of the city’s fire codes. Please read the Vendor Rules carefully and note that all vendors must be completely set up and ready for inspection by 9AM on Friday.
There are several key rules we’d like to call to our prospective vendors’ attention. Please read all rules carefully.
- We will continue to monitor vendor tents with awnings used to increase their booth size without including the increased booth area in their registration fee. Vendors must include the space under awnings used for merchandise sales when declaring their booth size and paying their fee.
- Our “vendor area” camping is available only for tents and self-contained trailers and RVs. In recent years we had campers plugging into our vendor power grid and overloading the circuits. Campers, please do not plug into the vendor power. It causes disruption to other vendors’ tents and is discourteous to their business. Camping north of the “creek” includes some areas near electrical outlets. If you must plug your camper into power, please find a spot over there.
- Please note the time at which vehicles are allowed in the vendor area on Sunday afternoon is 5:30. There are still guests wandering around before this time, so ignoring this rule creates a potentially dangerous situation and may preclude you from being invited back.
