Vendor reviews of craft fairs, art festivals, and markets

Before you pay a booth fee and give up a weekend, hear from vendors who have already worked the event. Every review rates the show on foot traffic, sales, venue, and day-of logistics, so you can find the craft fairs, art festivals, and farmers markets worth your time and skip the ones that are not.

How vendor event reviews work

Local Market is a vendor-first platform. These reviews come from makers, artists, farmers, and crafters who actually set up a booth at the event, not from shoppers. If you have sold at a show on this page, you can add your own review. New to selling at events? Read our guide on how to apply to vendor events and get accepted, and use our free vendor event scam checker before you pay any booth fee.

Frequently asked questions

What are event reviews on Local Market?

They are honest reviews written by vendors who have actually sold at a market, craft fair, art festival, or holiday show. Each review rates the event on foot traffic, sales, venue, and day-of logistics, so other makers can decide whether it is worth their time and booth fee.

Are these reviews from real vendors?

Yes. Reviews come from vendors we invited because they were listed as participants at the event, or from vendors with a Local Market account who have sold there. That keeps the feedback grounded in real booth experience.

How do I leave a review for an event I sold at?

Open the event page and leave a vendor review of foot traffic, sales, venue, and logistics. If you received an email invitation to review an event, you can use the link in that email without creating an account.

Do I have to pay to read reviews?

No. Reading event reviews on Local Market is free.

Why do vendor reviews of craft fairs and art festivals matter?

Booth fees, travel, and a lost weekend add up fast. A show that looks great online can have thin foot traffic or poor sales. Reading what vendors who actually worked the event say about traffic and sales helps you spend your time and money on the shows worth doing.
