How to find out about craft shows/sales?

[Former_Member]

I am in Hamilton Ontario Canada and I was wondering how Etsians find out about craft shows and other events to sell their items. Any help would be great!

I found most of my craft shows searching in google, craigslist and being members of local craft show groups on FB.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to find them b/c each & every show is advertised differently so they won't all be in the same place...you just have to do a lot of digging to find them.

Good luck!

I joined a team here on Etsy for local Southern California. They share all the craft fair information and I even teamed up with another member for one later this month. Try joining a local team and see what they offer :)

Hi,
I also google events in my area, but you can't possibly find them all that way.

I actually just started a group, called craft fair review.
I hope we get a lot of people on the team, and that they enter the fairs they are in,

The basic idea is to go to the group, and you can search threads by your city / county / state / country... or by the fair name itself.

If you have sold at a fair, and it doesn't show up as a thread, you would create a fair profile / review, and others can add to it as they search for information about the fair.

Feel free to stop by, I hope we can create a large data base of fairs
