Applications for the 2026 festival are now closed. Late applications are not accepted. We ask for 6 representative images and a brief description of your work. There is a $25 non-refundable application fee.

You must be either the designer, creator, or maker of the products you sell at Indie Craft Parade. This excludes vintage or thrifted goods as well as products made by big box retailers.

Yes, all exhibitor booths are located indoors. The festival spans 5 buildings on the historic Judson Mill campus, and while we utilize some outside spaces for food vendors and sponsors, all artist booths are indoors.

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.

Applicants will be notified of their application status on May 5, 2026.

Yes, a waiting list will be created from the pool of applications. We receive hundreds of applications each year, but we only have enough room to fit ~100 makers.

Artists are brought up from the waiting list if a space in their exhibiting category becomes available.
