Vendors

“Being at ABSfest allowed me to meet performers across the US and beyond, and it was an opportunity I would not have, had I not been a part of this festival.” ~Maria Bella, Baltimore, MD

Interested in Vending? Your Vendor Application will be reviewed by KISA VAN TEASA, open to your questions at kisavanteasa@gmail.com.

Our Vendors are a tremendous part of the festival, a veritable event unto themselves. Creating a feeling of opulence and nostalgia, the Bizarre Bazaar invites the ABSfest audience to browse all night long. We offer a broad variety, from fashions to body-care, imports to vintage, retro to ultra-fetishy. Something for everyone is our goal.

Because the festival happens in venues across the city on a tight schedule, we keep all Vending focused in the Saturday Spectacular at Asheville’s most prestigious venue, the Orange Peel. See the pictures below for a sense of the feeling and scope of the venue. ABSfest hosts workshops in the venue during the day from noon onwards, and the Saturday Spectacular draws an average of 500 people from 7pm-1am.  The Orange Peel is on one of the city’s most chic streets, convenient to hotels, coffee and excellent food of every variety.
