What makes a craft fair work.
Most craft fairs curate. You want to see the work before you say yes, keep categories balanced so you don't end up with six candle makers, and know vendors will actually show up and stay all day.
- Ask for product photos and whether everything is handmade.
- Cap categories so the mix stays balanced.
Everything in one place.
- Online vendor applications with your own questions.
- A booth map, with vendors picking their spot or you placing them.
- Booth fees paid by card and refunded automatically if you reject.
- Free or paid tickets with QR check-in at the door.
- Automatic emails before and after the event.
A craft fair in an afternoon.
- Create the event with dates, venue and your booth types.
- Add questions: what you make, photos of your work, whether it's handmade.
- Open applications and share the link where makers already look.
- Approve your mix, then turn on tickets if you charge entry.
Common questions.
Should a craft fair be juried?
If more makers apply than you have booths, a simple scoring pass on product photos and fit gives you a fairer, more varied fair.
Should I charge admission?
Many community craft fairs are free to enter and earn from booth fees; larger holiday fairs often charge a small admission. Free tickets still give you a headcount and check-in.
