Become A Vendor

We invite you to become a vendor at our 9th Annual event. Never before has there been an opportunity where African-American owned spirit, wine, and beer brands have been unified in one place for a single common ground.

At BOWSFest, you help lay a foundation of commerce and education that inspires and propels a movement towards the widespread support of Black-owned spirits, wine, and beer. The narratives and creation stories of these brands are a mere reflection of the spirit and ambition of people known to create, inspire, and evolve by any means necessary.

Now let’s raise a glass to that!
