Makers

Every year, our jury curates a selection of work from artists and makers that is high quality, innovative, and unique.

Our festival features maker goods in these categories:

APPAREL & ACCESSORIES
BATH, BODY & CANDLES
CERAMICS
FINE ART
FOOD & KITCHEN

HOME GOODS & DECOR
JEWELRY
KIDS
STATIONERY

Attention
Artists!

Applications for the 2024 Indie Craft Parade will be open May 1-20, 2024

  • I just love the attendees. They are wonderful, thoughtful, and so excited to support local makers which is incredibly encouraging!

    — The Midnight Post

  • This was the best organized show I’ve ever been a part of. I’ve heard so many attendees and vendors alike say how this is their favorite show of the year, and I absolutely see why.

    — Sara McCandless Illustration

  • The way that you make artists feel valued is something that I rarely experience in the art community and it’s super appreciated!

    — Darkstar Machinations

  • We makers talk among ourselves about which shows we do, pros and cons, and give each other suggestions. I’ve never met anyone who had a different favorite show.

    — Fair Isle

  • Many markets we attend focus more on the attendees rather than the makers. I believe happy makers make happy attendees. Thank you for providing a safe space for all parties.

    — Camp Craft Cocktails

  • It was our largest revenue show yet. I loved being able to witness people taking in our new products and get feedback and questions and ideas!

    A limited number of 6ft Emerging Artist Booths will be available for an exhibition fee of $195.

  • No, booth sharing is not allowed. Because each maker’s work is juried into the show separately, we do not permit shared booths. If you are a gallery owner, boutique owner, or part of a collective, you may only submit your own work. Individual artists must each apply separately.
