ShrimpFest 2010  We will begin sending out applications for craft and food vendors in December 09/January10.  The application can also be found by clicking on the "Vendor Application" button below.     We would appreciate it if we could receive the applications as soon as possible in 2010.   The deadline for submitting your application is April 15th.  If you submit your application after that date, we may still be able to fit you in but if 2008 and 2009 were any indication, vendors need to submit their application early.    We'll confirm your booth space as soon as we receive your application.  We reserve the right to reject vendors who would be selling duplicate products or products we feel would be unsuitable for the visitors to ShrimpFest.

For those of you who are visiting this web site for the first time, the description of our event is as follows:
 
The Brinnon ShrimpFest is a weekend festival celebrating Hood Canal Spot Shrimp and other local seafood.  We feature craft booths, food booths, belt sander races, exhibits, live music, kids activities and so much more.    Bring along your favorite decorated belt sander to enter the races that will be held at 12:00 pm each day.  The tides are usually low enough during this weekend for easy harvest of clams and oysters on the public beaches near the festival, (license required)  and the weather is traditionally good during this holiday weekend.    This is great family fun and it's FREE too!  Come join us this year.  ShrimpFest will again be in the grassy field on the north side of the Dosewallips River on the East side of Highway 101.  Proceeds from ShrimpFest 2010 will be donated to community projects.  

The festival began in 1994.  Over the years, the proceeds have benefited our community through donations to the Brinnon School and the Brinnon Volunteer Ambulance & Firefighters Association, Brinnon and Quilcene Community Centers as well as many other community projects.
