Original Castleberry Faire

The 31st Annual Original Castleberry Faire is one of Castleberry Fairs’ longest-running and most established juried events, celebrating over three decades of showcasing American-made handmade arts, crafts, and specialty foods.

This professionally organized show attracts a loyal and engaged audience through extensive regional promotion across digital, print, and broadcast channels. Exhibitors benefit from thoughtful event layout, strong marketing support, and a shopper base that values quality craftsmanship and originality.

We are seeking artisans and specialty food makers who personally create their work and present it with professionalism and pride. All work must be handmade by the exhibitor. Demonstrating artisans are encouraged.

Join us for a well-established, high-quality event that continues to celebrate the handmade tradition year after year.

Please Note: We encourage you to review our current show availability before submitting to confirm space remains in your category.
