ParklandFest 2022 Vendor Registration

The Uptown String Band is a non-profit organization based in Parkland, PA. As a member of the Philadelphia Mummers Association, we perform both locally and nationally throughout the year to help fund our New Year’s Day productions.

On October 8, 2022, in collaboration with Middletown Township, we are proud to present ParklandFest Community Day. This event will be held at Firefighter’s Park at 712 Poplar Street in Parkland and will feature games, vendors, live music, and food trucks. The event will conclude with a concert by the Uptown String Band.

It is our hope that this day will be a way to bring residents together to celebrate both our community and the tradition of mummery.

Each year thousands of dollars are spent on costumes, backdrops and props for our presentation. Initially, the costumes are worn in our New Year’s Day production, but are also used throughout the year to entertain thousands of people as the band performs in parades and at parties, concerts and other events. Costumes are designed and made custom to each member. Each costume costs approximately one thousand dollars and Uptown typically carries about 58 members in costume each year. Our 2023 theme is “King of the Jungle”, and every dollar raised helps our organization put on this presentation.

ParklandFest is designed to bring residents together to celebrate the community, and in order to make this day a success, we need your help. As a local business owner, we’re asking you to consider sponsoring a booth. The attached form provides details of options for you and your business to get involved.
The cost per booth is $30. You are able to bring your own table and chairs and canopy for shade. Should you need them, one table and two chairs can be rented for an additional $10. In addition to the vendor fee, we request you bring a gift basket to be raffled at the event.

The event will run from 12pm – 4pm, vendor check-in times are TBD and will be communicated closer to the event. No vehicles will be allowed in the event area until after 4pm, and as such we request that all vendors refrain from breaking down their area until the conclusion of the event.

If you would like to be a part of such a great day for our community, please complete the attached form and return to us with your donation.
