The Little Craft Show Event Guidelines & FAQs

Refund policy

Application fees are non-refundable. Booth fees will be refunded 50% if cancellation is requested at least 6 weeks before the event. After 6 weeks, no refunds will be issued. In the event that an event is cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, all booth fees will be refunded.

Booth sharing

Booths can be shared with prior permission. We ask that you email info@thelittlecraftshow.com if you will be sharing a booth to let us know who it will be shared with, as all participating vendors need to be approved. A separate application is not necessary, but a $50 shared booth charge will be issued.

Setup & tear down

Setup details will be sent to all participating vendors at least one week before the event. Typically, we dedicate 2-3 hours the morning of the event for setup. Booths are expected to be packed up and areas cleared within 2 hours of the event end time.

Booth fees

Booth fees vary per event. Please refer to the event application to see the price for each booth type. If accepted, you will be sent a link to pay for your booth fee. If payment is not received by the date indicated, your booth will be forfeited to someone on the waiting list.

Booth layout

Vendors are given the amount of space indicated on their application. Vendors are responsible for bringing all of their own equipment and materials needed for a successful set up (tent, chairs, table, lighting, extension cords, etc.), unless otherwise specified. If there are rental options available, this will be communicated to vendors ahead of the event.

Sales tax

Vendors are required to comply with all local, state, and federal laws while participating in The Little Craft Show. This includes remitting sales tax for any sales made. We will provide state tax forms at each event that each vendor is required to fill out and turn in to our team at the end of each event. Please come prepared with a checkbook and your sales and use tax ID number.

Conducting sales

Vendors are responsible for conducting their own sales at each event. We ask that every vendor accept cards, whether through Venmo, Square, ApplePay, or other app. If you need assistance setting this up, email info@thelittlecraftshow.com and we can send instructions.
