  • Children 12 and under get in free, so the whole family can come.
  • Bring a small stroller rather than a double side-by-side one, because the aisles get crowded.

  • Note the booth location and what a vendor makes, so you can track down their contact details later if you want to buy more.

What will I find at the show?

There are over 300 booths and more than 200 exhibitors from across the US. They sell handmade arts, crafts and baked goods.

Can I bring a stroller?

Yes. Smaller strollers work best because the aisles get crowded, so avoid double side-by-side models if you can. Wagon-style strollers are allowed.

Are wheelchairs available?

The facility is ADA-accessible. Two free wheelchairs are available at the Information Booth on a first-come, first-served basis. There are no electric scooters to rent.

How do I apply to be an exhibitor?
