Hello all! I was accepted into an annual 3-day juried festival Labor Day wkend and am very excited...and anxious. In addition to the arts/crafts area, there'll be rides, games, food, music, etc. I haven't been before but it's held in a suburb of my city, so very close. The average attendance is around 100K over the course of the festival. Since I was accepted last week, I've been researching how much to bring. The general advice seems to be approx 1% of the expected attendance, 1000 items? :shock: That's a LOT.

I also make other b&b products like lotion, lip balm, etc. Was thinking of bringing approx 2 dozen of each soap scent (have 7 or 8 different scents), maybe 2.5 doz of the most popular ones; 2 doz of each lotion & butter scent (will have 4-5), at least 100 lip balms (have 4 flavors), might also make salt scrubs in 2 different scents if I have time. How does that sound? Wish I'd know about this festival sooner so I'd have a few more wks to prep. I'm waiting for a response as to how many other b&b vendors will be participating, I know there will be a total of 160 artisans.

Just heard back. Only 3 or 4 other b&b vendors participating so far.

Bring as much as you can carry. Enough for your table, and the extras in a box or tote underneath. Do you live close enough that in case you run out of something that you can go home and get it for the next day?

Oh yes, it's only about 20-25 mins away so I'll be able to come home every night. I just want to be sure I make enough. I know it's hard to predict how much you'll need. Right now, I'm looking at approx 300 soaps and 250 or so other items.

Some questions to consider: how long has this venue been in business? How well is it advertised? How many visitors have they had in past years? What other vendors with similar products be there?

The festival has been around 20 yrs and is pretty well advertised. They have several large local sponsors and the average attendance is around 100K over the course of the 3-day festival. There will be approx 160 artisans in the arts & crafts area, but only 3-4 other b&b vendors besides myself (as of a few days ago). I've vended multi-day events before but never one in which I had to make the products and not one quite this large. Thanks so much!
