SCAM Alert
THIS IS JUST A REMINDER THAT SCAMS ARE BECOMING MORE COMMON. BE ON THE LOOKOUT ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
As a reminder, all vendors must apply to our Festivals through Eventeny/our website. Never transfer vending funds to an individual, or through any alternative method that has not been previously mentioned by Festivals of Cedarburg or Eventeny.
​
Although our staff monitors our social media accounts, sometimes scammers work faster than we do. If you spot a potential scam, please email creative@cedarburgfestivals.org.
