Mobile Users: For each question, please tap to open the one you are wanting an answer to, and the answer will appear.

The Oliver Hardy Festival is always held on the first Saturday of October unless the weather causes dangerous conditions.


All vendors must complete the application form in its entirety and pay in person at the Harlem Museum and Welcome Center or send the form with a check in the mail addressed to the Oliver Hardy Festival Steering Committee and mailed to Harlem City Hall. 


Yes, that is a scam.  The City of Harlem will not reach out to you online to ask for an online payment to be a vendor in the Oliver Hardy Festival. Please, be cautious with online sales. If you have any questions, please contact us at (706) 556-0401.
