Craft Shows & Craft Fairs in Maine 

“Connecting Crafters/Makers & Buyers Across Maine & New England”

For over 50 years, New England Craft Fairs & Shows has served as a trusted platform uniting artisans, crafters, sponsors and customers across New England.

We are committed to:

• Promoting high-quality, handmade work
• Offering supportive, inclusive event environments
• Helping artists and crafters reach new audiences
• Running effective, region-wide marketing campaigns (print, radio, digital, community outreach)

We believe in the value of unique, handcrafted pieces and want customers to discover artisans they won’t find in big box stores.
