Arts & Crafts Exhibitors
Attention all crafters! We would like to invite you to participate as an exhibitor in the International Bar-B-Q Festival. We have the capability to deliver up to 80,000 potential customers that will be genuinely interested in browsing fine collections of hand-crafted merchandise.

The exhibitor pass provides you with a 10'x10' area for both days of the Festival. You are welcome to purchase multiple booths to accomodate larger collections of hand-crafted merchandise. We encourage our exhibitors to demonstrate their creative techniques during the festival as a way to entertain festivalgoers and help to increase sales.
