Vendor Applications Open for Culture in The CORE Food and Music Festival

Vendor applications are now open for the 2026 Culture in The CORE Food and Music Festival, scheduled for noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Interurban Common in Richardson's Downtown Neighborhood.

Culture in The CORE brings together music, dance, food and arts that reflect Richardson's global communities. Businesses interested in participating in this year's festival may submit an application to be considered for vendor space.

All vendors and merchants must complete the application process. Applications will be reviewed as part of the vendor selection process, and space is limited.

Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25.

New Festival Location
This year's festival will move across Interurban Street from its previous location at Main Street Plaza to Interurban Common, a linear park along Interurban Street between Main and Jackson streets. The park is in the Downtown Neighborhood of The CORE District, across from the Belt & Main development.

Interurban Common officially opened in April 2025. The approximately 2.5-acre park includes two pavilions, a trail, solar lighting, a seat wall and landscaping. The space was designed to provide a pedestrian-friendly connection through Downtown Richardson and includes areas that can accommodate community activities and events.
