Island Park Show (IPS) is one of the largest outdoor craft and arts events of the summer, presented by the Fargo Park District. It brings together over 100 different booths featuring makers and creators of handcrafted arts, crafts, food, and more.
Our goal is to showcase original, handmade works from talented vendors — offering attendees a wide variety of unique, creative, and locally made treasures.
Vendors may apply in up to three (3) categories for one application form. All items displayed and sold must be handcrafted by you (the vendor), and must comply with IPS rules.
Below are the current IPS categories in which you may apply:
Apparel — handmade clothing or wearable items
Food & Beverage — home-baked goods, processed foods, or food items prepared in compliance with health regulations (note: some items may require licenses).
Furniture — artisan-made furniture pieces
Glass/Porcelain — handmade glass or porcelain works (functional or decorative)
Graphics/Photography — original photography or graphic art (print, digital, etc.)
Jewelry — original handmade jewelry designs (note: resold or commercially manufactured jewelry is not allowed)
Natural — items crafted from natural materials (e.g. baskets, gourds, organic materials)
Painting / Drawing / 2-D Art — original works (paintings, drawings, digital art, etc.)
Pottery / Ceramics — handmade pottery or ceramic items
Sculptures / Metalwork — original sculptural or decorative pieces made from metal or mixed media
Textile — textile arts such as quilts, fabric art, fiber arts (non mass-produced)
Toys — handcrafted toys made by the vendor
Woodwork / Decorative Wood — handmade wooden items, carvings, or turned wood works
If your work spans multiple mediums (e.g. mixed-media combining wood, metal, or glass), please be sure to select each relevant category — up to a maximum of three.
