A Taste of Brighton Festival is the largest festival in Downtown Brighton, MI with vendors representing what Brighton has to offer.

Vendors must have a physical commercial brick and mortar operating address within the City of Brighton to participate. To provide a festival environment for those attending the event our priority is to fill the street with vendors that are restaurants, stores, activities and entertainment. Your registration will be canceled and fee refunded if you register as a vendor and do not meet the above criteria. If you are unsure if you qualify, please contact tasteofbrighton@gmail.com for confirmation or to receive the sponsorship opportunities prior to registering as a vendor. Sponsorship levels that include a space on the street are exempt from this requirement.

Event Times:

Friday, July 11th: noon - 11p (Retailers only required to be setup until 9p, Restaurants 10p)

Saturday, July 12th: 10a - 11p (Retailers only required to be setup until 9p, Restaurants 10p)

Musical performances will be setup at each end of the street with headliners at the amp each night with sets running until 11p

Please do not engage your own private performers during the event as it causes significant issues with scheduling, speakers, and creates other event complications

To maintain the theme of “A Taste of Brighton” and allow everyone to experience the unique and diverse downtown that we have all worked so hard to develop, we are encouraging merchants and restaurants to showcase their business at the festival. For restaurants, provide sample sizes of your signature dishes at a price point below $5 along with your other offerings (people can literally experience a Taste of Brighton by sampling things from all of the participating restaurants). For merchants, consider reimagining the idea of sidewalk sales to outdoor shopping and display the unique things in your store that people may not know you carry.
