Showfest is the directory craft-fair vendors, shoppers, and promoters wish existed. Real events. Real reviews. No pay-to-play rankings.
FOR SHOPPERS
Find craft fairs, night markets, food-truck rallies, and pop-up festivals near you — hand-listed by real humans, reviewed by the people who actually went. Follow a promoter and get a notification when they announce their next show. See who's live at an event right now.
FOR VENDORS
One profile, unlimited applications. Apply to shows with a tap; your booth photos, categories, and story go with it. Track your sales season in the dashboard — net per show, mileage totals, customer contacts collected at your booth via QR code. Export a Schedule C–friendly CSV when tax season hits.
FOR PROMOTERS
Free listings, forever. Accept vendor applications in-app with a single Approve/Decline. Optional booth-fee collection via Stripe Connect (peer-to-peer with the vendor — Showfest never takes a cut). Ratings and reviews stay with the show, so the good ones stand out and the bad ones fix themselves.
WHAT MAKES SHOWFEST DIFFERENT
• Real reviews only. Every review is tied to a verified attendee.
• No pay-to-rank. Filters and search reflect what shoppers and vendors actually want, not who paid for placement.
• The Journal — field-tested playbooks and city guides for vendors, promoters, and shoppers. Updated weekly.
• A real dashboard for vendors — income, expenses, mileage, contacts, and a sales-goal tracker built in.
• Verified vendor and promoter badges backed by ID + phone + email checks. Trust, then discovery.
Free to use. Optional Member subscription ($9.99/month, 30-day free trial) unlocks full interactive maps, follow-notifications, and community posting. Optional ERP add-on ($19.99/month, includes Member) adds an inventory + BOM + design-library system for makers who sell at shows.
