Vendor Registration for Warsaw Fest from the Warsaw-Richmond County Chamber of Commerce that supports businesses in the Heart of the Northern Neck of Virginia. Vendor Registration As Chairman of Warsaw Fest and on behalf of the Warsaw Richmond County Chamber of Commerce, I would like to send a personal invitation to join our annual Fall Event, Warsaw Fest. Warsaw Fest is both a historic event and an enjoyable day that is celebrated by the citizens of the Northern Neck and surrounding areas. It would be our pleasure to have your participation in this year’s event. Warsaw Fest will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025 9am – 4pm in the Warsaw Town Park. In addition to filling the Main Street area with Vendor’s/Exhibitors, the day’s festivities will include a Baby/Beauty Pageant, Children’s Rides & Games, Car & Truck Show, and a Grand Parade. While last year featured rain mid-morning, ending the event early, this year we are hoping for a beautiful day that is super successful for everyone! We have 3 vendor options: Food Vendor, Vendor 12x12, and Vendor 12x24. We also had to update the pricing on our event to make sure that we can cover all the costs behind the scenes that make the day run smoothly. If you are a Chamber Member your price is discounted 20%. As always, spaces are reserved on a first come, first serve basis with payment made at the time of registration. Online Registration and Payment is available at www.wrccoc.com. You will receive a confirmation notice via email when your registration has been received. At a later date, typically 2 weeks prior to the event, you will receive more information on your set up time, location, and further details for the day of the event by mail. We are very aware of the hard work and dedication it takes just to exhibit your items for display and/or sale at these events. We know Saturday morning set up can be hectic. To minimize traffic in the area we are going to designate three half hour times to drop off your equipment and then park. You will get to choose your top 2 preferences and we will do our best to accommodate your first choice. For further information on being a part of Warsaw Fest 2025, please visit us on the web at www.wrccoc.com.
