Exhibition Fee

Both full (8 ft. table) and half-size (4 ft. table) booths are available for an exhibition fee of $85 and $55, respectively. A limited number of corner booths are also available. Participants who have been selected by the jury have until July 6 to reserve and finalize their spaces. Exhibition fees must be received by the same date, or your space will be forfeited and given to someone on the waiting list. If you’ve been selected to be part of Indie Craft Parade, we’ll email you instructions for paying your exhibition fee.

Guidelines and Policies

By submitting your application and photos, you guarantee that the work presented is your original creation. We reserve the right to dismiss any exhibitor if they have misrepresented themselves or their merchandise, or for any reason we deem appropriate.

How Participants Are Chosen

Work will be selected based on how well it aligns with the vision of Indie Craft Parade, as well as its:

  • originality
  • quality
  • uniqueness
  • innovation

The Waiting List: How It Works

A waiting list will be compiled during the jury process. Applicants may be placed on the waiting list due to the number of votes they receive or the availability of space in their category. In the event that a participant cancels, we will contact a vendor on the waiting list whose goods were entered into that same category. We will notify any waiting list participants as soon as a space opens up. They will have four days from being notified to confirm their space and pay their exhibition fee. After four days, if we have not received confirmation and payment, the space will be offered to another vendor on the waiting list.
