I have been vending at festivals and events for two years now and I feel like the hardest part is finding events that are worth attending. Google search results are just not specific enough these days. Google shows everything from huge music festivals to small local farmers markets. My best luck has been word of mouth by asking other vendors at events that I attend if they know of any other big events in the area.
How do you find events/festivals that are worth attending? I’ve read suggestions to use festivalnet.com and fairsandfestivals.com but I haven’t tried them out yet.
Any suggestions are welcome, cheers!
Not in the biz, but I have 4 small children and like to observe. Any kid friendly event such as fireworks, Halloween parades, etc. the vendors selling light up toys and bubble guns make a killing. The kids bother the hell out of me until I submit and have to buy 4 way overpriced toys that will be broken by the next daylight.
