What this Tab covers
Vendor application openings and deadlines for major craft fairs, holiday markets, art festivals, farmers markets and comic and pop culture cons with booth fees, jury requirements and sales estimates, event cancellations and date changes, state sales tax and temporary seller permit rules for events, Square and Shopify POS fee changes, and cottage food and handmade product rule changes, with the event first.
- Renegade Craft, Bazaar Bizarre, Christkindlmarket, Union Square Holiday Market, Ann Arbor Art Fair, Cherry Creek, Sausalito, Bellevue and other top-100 fairs
- Farmers Market Coalition
- State temporary seller permits
- Square, Shopify and Clover POS fees
- Convention artist alley applications
- American Craft Council
Why it matters
One juried application submitted before the deadline, a sales tax permit rule caught before an audit, or a booth fee increase known before budgeting each returns the fee.
Who it is for
- The 2 million makers, artists, food producers and small brands who sell at markets and events, where a good booth can net $3,000 in a weekend.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Tuesday 16:00 UTC. Holiday market applications open in spring and summer with juried deadlines, farmers markets take vendor applications in winter, and festival booth fees change annually

Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Craft Fair, Market & Vendor Booth WatchTrack market and event vending for US makers and small brands. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days and the coming 30 days: vendor and artist alley application openings, deadlines, jury results and waitlists for top-100 craft fairs, holiday markets, art festivals, food festivals, farmers markets and comic and pop culture conventions with booth fees and requirements; event cancellations, date and venue changes; state and city temporary seller permit and sales tax rules for events with effective dates; Square, Shopify, Clover and Toast POS fee and hardware changes; and handmade, cottage food and product safety rules affecting market sales. Prefer event, market coalition, state revenue, POS provider and craft association sources; ignore unverified vendor complaints. Put the event first in the title. Use high severity for an application deadline within 14 days at a top-25 event, a cancellation with a refund deadline, or a tax rule taking effect within 30 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for the event, the fee and requirements, the deadline, how to apply, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
