The Paine’s Outdoor Fairs
The Paine’s two outdoor fair events have grown dramatically over the past several years, with over 300 vendors and 13,000 visitors combined in 2010. Offering a unique and elegant setting, the Paine is located in Oshkosh and revered as “one of America’s Castles.” With nineteen seasonal, display gardens, the Paine plants over 7,000 tulips which bloom during the Festival of Spring and then plants tens of thousands of annuals which compliment the Faire on the Green. The Paine has positioned its gardens to be a destination spot for Wisconsin gardeners, landscapers, art enthusiasts and tourists. Through its unique combination of art exhibitions, architecture and exquisite gardens, the Paine provides a one-of-a-kind backdrop for its exciting and growing outdoor festivals. The Paine is a non-profit organization and these festivals help fund the operating and maintenance of the Paine estate. We hope you will join us this year.
Festival of Spring is a free fair focused around the Paine’s annual Spring Plant Sale of traditional and unusual plant varieties. The event features up to 120 exhibitors of original art, fine crafts, plants and garden supplies. The garden themed fair celebrates nature by attracting vendors whose items are either for the garden, from the garden or inspired by the garden. Faire on the Green is a free fair featuring the works of over 150 vendors of art and fine crafts. Both events will be complimented by the nearby “Corner Flea Market” with space for up to 40 additional vendors.
New “Corner Flea Market”
The Paine is seeking to attract an even larger and broader audience to the outdoor fair events. Both fair days will be complimented by a vendor area on Elmwood and Congress. This nearby area is called the “Corner Flea Market” and will include vendors of antiques, imported items, retail and flea market goods as well as Farmer’s Market vendors. Original art and fine craft vendors as well as plant and garden merchandise vendors will continue to be grouped together at the original location on the corner of Algoma and Congress.
The Paine is accepting vendors of original art and fine crafts, plant/garden items and food service for the Algoma/Congress Street site during each fair day. In addition, the Paine is accepting vendors of flea, retail, antique and farmer’s market items for the nearby “Corner Flea Market” on the Elmwood/Congress Street site.
Each booth will be will be structured as a 10’ x 10’ space and will have two selling aisles. The fee for the art, fine craft, garden art and corner flea market vendors is $75 and for plant, garden, landscaping and food vendors is $100. There are more than 160 total booth spaces available for each event, and these will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.
