Join us for 2026 Kids-only craft markets
We were thrilled to see your enthusiasm last year. So, we’re bringing back Made by Me Markets in 2026.
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: $29
June - October, 1pm - 3:30pm on the second Sunday of each month
