The Delaware Friends of Folk invites you to purvey your wares at our annual music festival near Hartly, Delaware, about 10 miles west of Dover.

The Festival features an outstanding line-up of musical talent from the eastern seaboard performing on Friday evening from 7 - 11pm, and then on Saturday from Noon to 11pm, for up to 500 music lovers.

The area for vendors is between the main parking area and the stage area. This is not a great distance so all visitors will pass frequently through the vendor sites when entering and leaving the music area.

Delaware Friends of Folk will be selling water, coffee, artists’ CDs and Folk Festival T-shirts. We will not sell anything that competes with vendors.

We make regular announcements throughout the day encouraging the audience to visit the vendor sites.
There will also be children’s activities adjacent to the vendor sites from noon until 6:00 p.m
