While we are on pause with vendors, we always welcome funders. We have the information from 2020 to give an idea of what we will eventually return to or at least evolve from here.
We encourage people, organizations, and businesses to support Story Crossroads either as a help to our nonprofit or as a marketing possibility. Do you have a story-related item to sell or storytelling-focused message to share?
Be a Sponsor (virtual/in-person options) due April 22, 2021 or by April 1, 2022:

General Feel for Festival and Future Plans:
With our Festival plus outreaches, we had 5,704 people last year. Though, at one time, we aim for 400 people with the extra benefit of parents of athletic kids and the visual of the pirate ship that holds 30-40 kids for imaginative play from off of Redwood Road. By 2021, we aim to have 1,000+ people on location at any one time and continue our growth since we kicked off in 2016.
We have had vendors before though and are now expanding into “We All Have Stories” Family Marketplace, which is free for anyone to enjoy. There are ticketed concerts at 5:00pm, 6:00pm, 7:00pm, and 8:00pm in the South Jordan Community Center Ballroom.
Of course, people are encouraged to see what you have to offer and be inspired with story-related crafts, services, goals, or ideas. We expect this to continue growing indoors and outdoors. We have some booths in the South Jordan Community Center and some booths at the Heritage Park. These two locations share the same parking lot here: 10778 S. Redwood Rd., South Jordan, UT.
