Acceptable booths include ANY booth themed horror or Halloween, or otherwise considered spooky or eerie. For example, some of these booths may include taxidermy, SFX makeup, reptiles, tarot card reading, blacksmithing, gothic retail clothing, masks, creepy jewelry, horror artwork, or a myriad of other products. AI-generated art will NOT be accepted. If you are unsure if your booth fits the theme, feel free to email [email protected] with pictures before applying! There is a $15 nonrefundable fee to apply, so no need to risk anything if you don’t have to.

There is a flat booth rental fee for each vendor. This can vary depending on the event, booth size, and booth placement. This information can be found on the Vendor Info page.

HauntFest invites YOU to apply to our upcoming 2026 HauntFest events! To apply, visit the Vendors page at hauntfest.net.

A September to Dismember

HauntFest returns to Historic Hopkins Farm for its A September to Dismember event! Rather than our Mini Event, this will be a full-fledged weekend festival with vendors, live music, themed entertainment, and much more! Prepare for a Dead Man's Party… Historic Hopkins Farm is an expansive and beautiful property that is primarily rented as a wedding venue. HHF has an enormous space to host events, from pavilions to event buildings to huge open fields. HauntFest is thrilled to have an opportunity to partner with this space to host its first South Carolina "A September to Dismember" festival, coinciding with Hopkins Haunted Attraction. 

Harvest of Horrors

Join HauntFest in its premiere of HauntFest: Harvest of Horrors at Bobby Brown Park in Elberton, GA! Along with our usual HauntFest shenanigans, this venue offers camping, water sports, movie screenings, a free bouncy house, a new Night Terrors event, and more! Bobby Brown Park is a spacious outdoor park on a gorgeous lake with tons of camping opportunities (yurts, campgrounds, and cabins), lots of wooded trails, water sports, covered pavilions, an outdoor stage, indoor concessions, and much more! Bobby Brown Park will be providing movie screenings and a free bouncy house for kids for the event. HauntFest is super excited to enjoy the many opportunities available at Bobby Brown Park. To reserve a camping space, please visit the Bobby Brown Park Website.
