Tips & Advice

  • Bring cash or a checkbook as well as a card, because each artisan handles their own sales and some take only checks or cash.
  • Keep your handstamp from the first day, because it gets you back in free the next day, when artists restock and often add new items.
  • Enter the cash giveaway drawing with your email while you're at the festival and bring ID, though you don't need to be there to win.
  • Think about the Friday VIP Entry, a separate ticket that includes a glass of bubbly or another drink, a shopping tote and two cash giveaways.
  • Plan to stay for lunch, since professional caterers sell lunch items and snacks at the festival while you browse the booths.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Two cash giveaways during Friday VIP Entry; you must be there to win.
