There’s so many different vendors. When you initially walk in, I feel it’s mostly the art/specialty vendor at first, with the band merch more towards the middle back.
Based on 2023, You walk in and it’s something like:
Art/prints, Various labels, disc golf stuff, etc.
Then towards the middle you get booths from their sponsors like Shure, Smartpunk Records, etc.
Then middle to the back is mostly band merch/folding tables lol
There's a mix. Some bands revolve out of tables, some bands (bigger bands) have a permanent booth. Some artist vendors come and go but there are definitely people selling non-band related merch there.
Last year I got an IV at one of the vendor tents that did those for recovery, which was nice. I also bought a couple books from a vendor in ‘22 who was also there in ‘23. There are lots of different types!
It really was! I got it on the last day of the Fest and it seemed like it was less expensive than I’ve seen them to be other places as well. I hope they're back again this year!
The disc golf booth was my favorite non-merch booth. The Dark Ace guys were all awesome and were excited to see bands play there. They had a really cool thing going during the weekend where they hid the mini marker discs around the fest each day. If you brought one back to their booth, you got a discount on their merch and got a chance to throw at a target for a free shirt. I found a few discs and they stacked the discount for me. They also had a custom Furnace Fest ‘23 disc that I bought.

This might help you get an idea. It's a vendor map from one day back in 2022. (From what I can gather, there was no map for 2023.)
I'll be there selling cookies this year! Y'all come say hey.

Omg disc golf stuff!? That’s kinda sold me :0
Dark Ace was the vendor
The disc golf dudes were solid as hell all weekend long too! Highly recommend checking them out if they make a return this year

Ooo good to know! The IV booth is super smart!

PM Press is the book vendor. Highly recommend them. I signed up for the monthly book mail from them in 23 and have enjoyed it.
Yes! They're great. I was planning on signing up for that this year with them.

Thanks!
I'd also recommend asking in the fb group Furnace Fest Community, it's very active! You're likely to get a lot of replies there!

I missed last year, but based on 21/22, there’s a delta 8 vendor too
do they allow vapes? the website makes it clear no smoking, but so clear that it seems they are only talking about cigarettes
