craft fair

Handmade goods bazaar

A craft fair is an event where artisans and hobbyists sell handmade goods—pottery, jewelry, woodwork, textiles, and similar items.

Craft fairs typically take place in community spaces, churches, or outdoor venues, often seasonally: We found beautiful ornaments at the holiday craft fair.

They range from small local gatherings to large juried shows.
