Vendor Infomation

You are invited to be a part of Walla Walla's annual "4th of July in the Park" celebration in Pioneer Park. From 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pioneer Park (bordered by Alder, Division and Whitman Streets) will be filled with arts and crafts, culinary delights, games for children of all ages, and nonstop entertainment. This year the community celebration will once again conclude with a rousing show of the finest fireworks display in the area adjacent to Fort Walla Walla Park and the Walla Walla Veteran’s Hospital. In previous years, this celebration has attracted 10,000 to 15,000 visitors to the park.

The Park has a circular drive and in the center is a gazebo for entertainment. Arts and crafts booths will be spaced around the inside of the circle, where electricity is unavailable and the outside will include food booths, additional arts and crafts booths, information booths, etc. The road is used as the walkway for public access. Vehicles will not be allowed to remain in the park after set-up. City regulations do not allow overnight park sleeping. The parking lot adjacent to the Little League field on Ruth Street will be available, along with restroom facilities.

Vendor Forms:


The City of Walla Walla is extremely cooperative and must clean up following the event so we ask that you plan on completely breaking down Friday evening and removing all trailers from the grass that day. Many of you have shared this day with us before and appreciate the park’s natural tree shade. Please be advised that we cannot control shade in Pioneer Park. Storm damage sustained in the January 4th windstorm resulted in the removal of well over 100 trees and even more large branches. We regret that we cannot guarantee vendors all-day shade. Please review the park map. This should assist you in making space preferences. We will not change booths after assignment. We look forward to working together and making this old-fashioned event fun for all.
