Lakes Fest Seeks Small Business Vendors WINONA LAKE – Organizers of the annual Northern Indiana Lakes Festival are looking for vendors with a new focus on participation from small businesses in Kosciusko County.

The Northern Indiana Lakes Festival is scheduled for May 24-26 at Center Lake Park in Warsaw.

“We extend a special invitation to small businesses owners from all across the region, from Wawasee to Silver Lake,” said Dugan Julian, events coordinator at the Lilly Center.

“By setting up a booth, you can represent your organization at the county’s largest Memorial Day weekend festival, and interact with thousands of community members,” he said.

For $50, small business owners can reserve a vendor booth for Saturday and Sunday.

All vendors will be located outdoors. Participants are asked to be set up from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 26, but can elect to be open for Saturday evening and Sunday events.

Applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. The application process can be done at lakesfestival.org.

The upcoming Lakes Festival will feature a Friday evening concert, Saturday evening fireworks over Center Lake, live entertainment, locally sourced lake education and more.

Admission to the festival is free; the whole family is invited. More information and activities will be released closer to the festival dates.
