Craft Shows – Finding One Near You
By Natalie Goyette
In response to several queries I have had over the past few months, I have compiled a list of places where you can find a craft show near you. This information is only as accurate as the last updates made to the websites I have listed, so it is always a good idea to make a phone call or two to see if the shows in your area are still up and running.

Following are a variety of directories and listings for craft shows across North America:

http://www.craftsitedirectory.com/craftshows/index.html - This directory is filled with links to regional and specialized craft shows across the country.

keep in mind the cost of a craft show, how far it is to travel, as well as things like the traffic at the event, the types of that are sold at the show, and what sort of amenities it has (computer access for payment, electricity outlets, booth size, etc).

Choosing the right craft show for your operation is important to making a good profit in this business. If you are selecting shows that aren't giving you a good return on your investment, then you might need to do a little more research to get the best bang for your buck!
