Applications are now available for the 26th annual Mayfest, one of Carroll County's most popular springtime events, which annually sees several thousand attendees. Set in the heart of downtown Carrollton, Mayfest has become a staple of the county's social calendar by offering something for the entire family. Opportunities for fun at the event range from games and merchandise vendors to live music and delicious food to a host of crafts and fine art.
Mark your calendars, as the 2011 Mayfest is scheduled for May 7th from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event will be held at Carrollton's Adamson Square as well as parts of Bradley and Rome streets.
"Mayfest is an event for the entire county to come and enjoy," said Jessica Reynolds, director of Carrollton Main Street. "This is not just an event for Carrollton. It's an event for the entire county. I truly believe that."
The annual event brings in thousands of people, which in turn brings tens of thousands of dollars into the local economy; however, its impact is not solely financial. Mayfest gives citizens and visitors alike the opportunity to learn about the vibrant culture and sense of community that Carroll County and Carrollton have to offer, which is a large part of what makes the event such an invaluable experience for locals and tourists alike.
"Mayfest is a wonderful opportunity for Carroll County residents to have fun with friends and family while staying close to home. It's also a chance for visitors to come explore one of our vibrant downtown areas," said Thomas O'Connor, Communications Coordinator with Carroll County. "Its ability to combine activities, live music, food and art speaks to its success over the past 25 years. People come and have a good time, and you can be sure that next year, they'll be coming back."
Applications for arts/craft vendors, food vendors and non-profit vendors are available here.
