How To Easily Find Festivals in Florida
I was out one day,looking for a good place to look for festivals around Florida and that was when I happened upon the event listings site of Florida Fairs and Festivals. It is quite an absolutely spiffing site that had a lot of information when it came to talking about upcoming events in and around the state.
There’s a small fee to be a member (99 cents, it’s basically a steal) but what you’re getting is absolutely worth it (and possibly even more!) You basically get: the name and event date, the city location, numbers and websites, a description and size of the event and what types of vendors or presenters are they taking in and accepting for the event.
This is absolutely for the craft and festival aficionado. And is a must when it comes to investing in the festival niche. After all, a listings of all available festivals is like a gold mine. Missed opportunities are very detrimental to one’s career in the line of making your hobby or craft into a full-blown business. Having a full list of available events also presents you options that you can choose from. After all, more options equal more chances for money and fame.
They also have helpful tips on things like how to make your craft into a business. Some DO’s and DON’Ts which I actually found quite helpful and useful for the festival newbie and amateur alike. They also have good tips on trying out for juried and non-juried shows. Which would be better? What is the difference between the two? Will I earn more on this or this? All of these questions can be answered by checking out Florida Fairs and Festivals.
Of course, if you’re not sure whether you want to join, you can always try the 99 cents; 3-day trial that the site offers. All features as having the full membership. It also isn’t quite the hassle as some people put it. It’s not pricey (again, that’s only 99 cents for the trial membership) and if you want to stay for a 6 month membership, it’s just $29.95.
That’s like 16 cents a day, a good bargain for instant access to the state’s festivals and events. You get security of mind and a good idea of what the event is all about, making you well-prepared and confident when you have to face your market when the time comes.
