Antiques and Uniques Information for
Craftsbury Farmers’ Market Vendors
July 8th, 2023
The Antiques and Uniques Festival is returning to Craftsbury after a two year hiatus due to the pandemic. There will be over 100 antique, craft and food vendors. This festival can bring 3,000+ visitors to the area and takes over normal activities on the Common, including the Craftsbury Farmers’ Market on that day. In the past, the market has relocated off the Common in front of the High School.
That is not an option for us this year, but we have been invited to participate out on the Common as A&U vendors. This is optional for CFM vendors and there are some factors you might want to consider in deciding whether to participate:
*Increased customers
*Do you have enough inventory/are there other things you can bring?
-Perhaps you have antiques of your own
-additional Crafts, artwork..................
*There is a fee: regular spaces cost between 75-140$ (minus $20 for early birds)
The A&U committee is offering, for the farmers’ market vendors only, the ability to rent half spaces(10x10) in the field for $28 if you sign up along with your CFM application.
*A&U has there own set of guidelines, please be prepared to follow them
*It is a longer day, 9-3, and you must be set up by 8:45, cars can unload on the Common, but need to be off the field by 8:30
*Parking is at Dustin Field-there will be a shuttle bus available
As a farmers Market we are trying to see if we can reserve an area of booths all together and as near to where we usually set up as possible. It is important for us to know ASAP who would like to sign up for a space at Antiques and Uniques.
How to sign up:
*Please download, print and fill out the A&U application. Follow link to access application:

*If you require electricity write that on the form and I will try to position you near the outlets
