2026 Wellfleet OysterFest October 17 - 18

* NEW * Arts & Crafts Application Process

To stay true to WOA’s mission and our deep roots in Wellfleet, we’re excited to introduce a new application process for 2026. In an effort to support our local creative community, priority will be given to artisans from Wellfleet, the Outer Cape and all Cape Cod.

Vendors will be selected by a panel of impartial judges who will review each application using established criteria. Our primary criteria is that products being sold are handmade by the applicant. This helps us continue our tradition of presenting a professional, diverse, and commercially vibrant Arts & Crafts show for both artisans and festival attendees.

Applications will open February 1, 2026, and will initially be accepted exclusively from Cape Cod based artisans. The submission deadline is March 1, 2026.

If spaces remain, applications will open to artisans based off Cape Cod on March 15, 2026.

We extend our sincere thanks to all artisans who have been part of the Wellfleet OysterFest in the past. Your contributions have been essential to the festival’s success, and we truly appreciate your continued support as we move forward with this new application process.
