Your booth, your way.

Booth options

Two sizes, one fair price.

Standard booth, 10 x 10.

The standard inline booth, 100 sq. ft. of floor space to display your products and talk to festival shoppers.

Compact booth, 5 x 10.

A 50 sq. ft. inline booth for a smaller footprint. A popular pick for first-time and small-batch exhibitors.

Whether you are inline or on a corner, you pay the same rate per square foot.

What it costs

Exhibit space, member rate.

$14.99 per sq. ft.

For multi-show exhibitors and Craft Industry Alliance members.

Exhibit space, standard rate.

$16.50 per sq. ft.

For everyone else. That puts a 10 x 10 at $1,650 for the space and a 5 x 10 at $825, or $1,499 and $749.50 at the member rate.

Specialty pavilion.

$999 per 50 sq. ft. space

A flat rate per pavilion space rather than a per-square-foot charge. Book one to four spaces.
