Vendor Call: Queen West Street Fest

Dear Vendors,

On Saturday, September 15, Theatre Passe Muraille is holding a Street Festival at the corner of Ryerson and Wolesley to kick off our Fall 2012 Season: THEATRE BEYOND WALLS.

The Festival will run from 11am-5pm and we are seeking up to 40 local vendors to fill the area with interesting artisanal crafts, food, jewellery and other fine things to sell.

To find out how to apply go to:

and click on the link "TPM Street Fest Vendor Application".

You can download the form, fill it out, and send the application to:

Feel free to share this event with any of your colleagues as the rates are very cheap and the timing is just right. But act fast: we only have 40 spaces available and they are filling up.

Please don't hesitate to contact me at the above email address if you have any questions or are seeking more information. I hope you’ll consider registering for a booth at our Queen West Street Fest.

With thanks,
