Lowcountry Made is now accepting online applications for SpringFest 2021. The outdoor shopping event will showcase all things local, original and handmade from noon to 5 pm on June 5th. Booths will be set up in the entire second row of the parking lot in front of Saks OFF 5th at Tanger Outlets 1 in Bluffton. There will be live music and activities for the whole family!
“Tanger 1 in Bluffton is a large venue with wonderful amenities and ample parking,” said Katie Silva, founder of Lowcountry Made. “We're thankful for Tanger's continued support of local, small businesses. This venue will allow for the accommodation of many new local makers for the community to discover and engage with!”
Vendors must offer local, original or handmade items — including artists, artisans, makers and small business owners in the Lowcountry. Priority is given to handmade centered businesses but local small businesses and vintage items will be considered. Vendor requirements include:
- A South Carolina Retail Business License
- A Beaufort County Business License or a Beaufort County Special Event License
- Must accept credit card payments
- White peaked 10-foot by 10-foot tent
