About FairFinder

FairFinder is a directory of craft fairs, art fairs, festivals, holiday markets, farmers markets, artisan markets, book fairs and conventions where independent vendors can sell. It is built for makers, artists and authors who need to see which events exist in a given state before they spend evenings on application forms.

How listings are curated

Every listing lives in a single data file, data/markets.json, that we maintain by hand rather than scraping automatically. An entry records the event name, city and state, event type, season, website and social links and, where it is known, the booth fee, whether the show is juried, the application deadline and whether it suits makers, authors or both. Nothing in the directory is paid placement.

Anyone can propose a market through the Suggest a Market form. Submissions go into a review queue instead of straight onto the site, and an administrator checks the organizer's website before adding the event. Corrections work the same way: when a proposed change differs from what is already on file, it is held as a suggestion for review and does not overwrite the existing listing.

Using the directory

Search by name, city or hashtag, then narrow the list by state, event type or vendor fit. You can view results as cards, as a table or on a map. Each market has its own page with the details we have on file and, when available, a link to the organizer's application. The “Track in FairKeep” button hands an event to FairKeep, our companion app for tracking applications, fees and deadlines.

Dates, fees and deadlines change from year to year and events are sometimes cancelled, so confirm everything on the organizer's own site before you apply or pay. Read how we handle submissions in our privacy policy and terms.
