FairTracker: Find Craft Fairs and Farmers Markets Near You

Finding craft fairs and farmers markets to apply to is harder than it should be. Events are scattered across Facebook groups, local event pages, municipal websites, and word-of-mouth. There's no single place to see what's happening in your state, what type of vendors they're looking for, or when applications open.

FairTracker is that single place. It's a free directory of craft fairs, farmers markets, and vendor events — with the deepest coverage in New England and growing listings across the rest of the US.

Browse Events by State and Type

FairTracker lets you filter by state so you're not scrolling through events in other regions. You can also filter by event type — craft fair, farmers market, artisan market, holiday bazaar, flea market — depending on what kind of show fits your products best.

Each listing includes the event name, location, typical dates or season, and a link to the event's own application page or website. FairTracker doesn't handle applications — it gets you to the right door.

New England Focus

FairTracker started in New England and has the most thorough coverage there — Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. If you're a vendor in the Northeast, this is the most comprehensive single listing of events you'll find.

Coverage is expanding to other regions as the directory grows. If you run an event that isn't listed yet, you can submit it directly through the site.

Submit Your Event

Event organizers can submit their craft fair or farmers market to FairTracker for free. Getting listed increases your visibility to vendors actively looking for events to apply to — which means better applicant pools and less work promoting your vendor application.

From Discovery to Tracking

FairTracker handles the discovery part — finding events worth applying to. Once you've identified shows you want to pursue, FairKeep takes over: track your application status, confirm accepted shows, log income and expenses, and get weather forecasts for your event dates.

The two tools work together as part of the VendorTools suite — a set of free and low-cost tools built specifically for craft fair and market vendors.

Free for Vendors

FairTracker is completely free to use. No account required to browse, no subscription, no premium tier. The directory exists to make it easier for vendors to find shows and for event organizers to find vendors. That's it.
