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!
As others have said, word of mouth from other similar vendors is the best. You can also follow similar vendors on social media and review their previous events. This gave a whole list of events for me to research after checking out their posts/events from the last year. Also the website Eventeny will list events by state. You can signup for weekly alerts.
