Non-profit community groups, local small businesses or individual artisans & crafters are welcome to apply for vendor space at the festival. Each year, Leclaire Parkfest attracts approximately 5,000 people to enjoy live music, festival food, a beer & wine garden, craft booths, a used book sale benefiting the American Cancer Society, children’s activities, a vintage vehicle exhibit and trolley tours of the Leclaire National Historic District.

The festival is organized by Friends of Leclaire (FOL), a local not for profit formed after Leclaire’s 1990 Centennial to promote the unique history of the former village. Proceeds from Leclaire Parkfest help fund planning, promotion and execution of the festival and the preservation and beautification of public spaces in Leclaire, including the park grounds and the Edwardsville Children’s Museum.
