Park Heights Business Incentive

The George “Spider” Anderson Music & Arts Festival was created to spotlight the businesses that make Park Heights vibrant.

During Preakness season, thousands of visitors come through our community. This festival is our opportunity to ensure that those dollars are circulating right here in Park Heights — supporting the entrepreneurs, creators, and small businesses that help our community live, work, and thrive.

Our goal is simple:

Highlight local businesses, encourage residents to shop in their community, and bring visibility to the incredible products and services right here at home.

To support this mission, we are offering complimentary vendor participation for businesses located within the Park Heights Master Plan boundaries.

How the Incentive Works

If you are a registered business located within the Park Heights Master Plan boundaries (brick-and-mortar location not required):

  • Your $150 vendor fee will be waived as part of the Park Heights Incentive
  • All vendors must still pay the $50 reservation fee at registration
  • Upon confirmation, you will not have to pay the balance, and after the festival, your $50 fee will be reimbursed:
    • Reimbursements will be issued via the same payment method used for registration
    • Payments will be processed within 10 business days following the festival
    • Processing time may vary based on your financial institution

Important Note for Food Vendors
Food vendors are still eligible to participate, however the $50 reservation fee serves as a non-refundable administrative fee paid directly to Baltimore City.

This policy applies to the following vendors:

  • Food trucks
  • Vendors cooking on-site
  • Vendors serving prepared food
  • Vendors selling purchased prepared food

For all food vendors:
The $50 reservation fee serves as a non-refundable administrative fee, regardless of business location.
