We love our
Artists!

Applications for the 2025 Indie Craft Parade will open May 1, 2025.

  • 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!

    To stay in the loop for this event and future artist opportunities, join our mailing list (in the site footer) and follow us on social media!

  • 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.
