Finding a good opportunity for your craft to shine? Looking for a place to exhibit your art? Scouting out a good niche or a good market? Ever just wanted to be prepared for the whole year so that no surprise festivals will get past you?
Florida Fairs and Festivals seems to have answered a lot of my concerns when it came to dealing festivals, crafts, bazaars and events that had to do with art, food, and everything that has to do with exhibits and such.
The site offers a good deal in the form of a trial membership. You can opt with 99 cents for the trial membership, lasting 3 days. But you basically get everything the regular members enjoy with their membership. Being a member entitles you access to their lengthy database of current events and festivals. This includes all important and vital information regarding the events, like names, dates, location, types of events and something specific, even like what types of vendors or exhibits will they accept and allow.
The site gives the information out in an easy-to-understand and easy-to-access format. This can save you LOTS, and I mean, LOTS of time going over pages and pages of directories just to have a little bit of an idea of what, when and where an event would be, disregarding what it is and what they will allow.
You get detailed information on things like rental fees, application deadlines and all possible general information. It's like a mini-kit for everyone who has the motivation to take their craft and hobby seriously.
Florida Fairs and Festivals not only includes events that exhibit your work and hobby, but also events that "could" make good use for you. Things like local baseball games where park food is sure to be a hit or something like that. There is a pretty good thought in "thinking outside of the box" as they say.
