Join us for 2026 Kids-only craft markets
So many amazing parents reached out in 2025 to help their kids become vendors and we were so excited to see your enthusiasm.
If you’d like to receive updates about 2026 market dates, please sign up and you’ll be the first to know when registration opens.
What is It:
All vendors are aged 17 or younger.
Bring a 10x10 tent, table, and chairs, and set up in a designated spot on the main lawn.
Items should be primarily made by the child, but we know parents need to help sometimes!
Booth fee: $25
June - October, 1pm - 3:30pm on the second Sunday of each month
