General Information

Hi Everyone, Welcome and Welcome Back!  It’s been 4 years since we did our first FestiFall in 2019!  It’s going to be really hard to top it, which has been a worry of mine because it went so perfectly!  Thanks Giord.  This year, we’re excited to announce that we have some really cool new ideas and activities to try and make it as awesome and successful as it was in its inaugural year!  So we do ask for your patience, we’re still new at this and continue to learn as we go.  So cross your fingers for another gorgeous, safe and prosperous day! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a first come, first serve basis until spots are full.  We may limit the number of crafters in a category in order to appeal to a variety of FestiFall event goers’ interests and senses, and in doing so, limit competition among crafters.

If applicable to your situation, you are responsible for your sales tax, food permits and can contact the NYS Sales Tax office and/or the Broome County Health Department if needed.

Advertising/Social Media

If you send us pictures/information and/or social media tags via email or messenger we will promote your businesses and fundraising causes leading up to the event.

Likewise, please post, share and spread the word about this event!  Spreading awareness leads to an increase in attendance which benefits everyone! 

It’s Important You Know What You’re Getting Into:

This event is like no other event you’ve been a part of or will be a part of, we truly believe that.  It's all because of one ghost, quietly and playfully haunting us all.  So if the weather is exactly what it was in 2019 (which was absolutely gorgeous,) your sales are awesome, people are kind, and your body is keeping up with the demands, feel free to smile, maybe even laugh and mutter, “Thank Giord.”  If the weather sucks and we’re running for shelter, people woke up on the wrong side of the bed (we’re only talking about customers here, because WE’RE, all going to be in tired but happy, flexible, helpful moods 🙂) and maybe sales are not what we were hoping for, please, feel free to curse my husband, as I do often and bellow,                     

                                                          “For the love of Giord!”  

 The passion and cause behind the existence of this community event is a very special and bittersweet one for the FestiFall Organizers.  FestiFall is in loving memory of their husband, their daddy, their family member, friend, neighbor, favorite entertainer and there’s an endless amount of relationships that connect us to the beautiful gifts that our beloved Giordi DeAngelo gave and continues to give us.  So feel the feels, love the love, laugh at the laughs and if you find your feathers getting ruffled, in the wise and very funny words of Giord, “Write It Down and Let It Go.”  And remember what this event is about.  Giving back to the community, having fun; if you’re a kid, pretending you’re in “Halloweentown” and if you’re an adult, a Fall Hallmark movie, spreading joy, positivity, good vibes and making the best of it.  You know, 

                                                           For the love of Giord.
