COLORADO CRAFT SHOWS?

[Former_Member]

I am looking for a few new shows to attend in Colorado. Also would consider New Mexico and Wyoming. Anyone out there know of some to share with us? Thanks!

I'm not sure if anyone has heard of Firefly Handmade, but it's a Boulder-based market three times a year and it's really great. The next one's in April, at Chautauqua, and it's attached to a creative retreat that also sounds really awesome, if anyone in this forum is interested! It's a weekend with a lot of different craft workshops, and you can't really do better than Chautauqua for a beautiful place to craft & create! Here's the website to check out: www.themakerie.com (I think registration closes soon!)

In 2014, we attended the Estes Park Holiday Market. It was a good show for us. The show is held the weekend before Thanksgiving. In 2015, the dates are Nov 21 & 22.

The Boulder Gift Fest is held on a Sunday in Mid-December, around the 14th. We attended the show as shoppers in 2013 and as vendors in 2014. For an unknown reason, turn-out was much lower in 2014, so sales were lower than expected. Interesting to see how this show goes in 2015 and beyond. Note to vendors: show is held in a dark gymnasium. Definitely, bring additional lighting, especially if your booth is along an outer edge.
