There is still a chance to get in on the opening event for the tourist season in the FLORIDA KEYS! A Keys tradition always on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving (Small Market Saturday), The Island Art Festival is the premier event for the Christmas shopping season. Many people from south Florida take advantage of what is a 4-day weekend to come to the Keys & explore! As a very artisan community, folks are always looking for special items to take home. Even though the crowds are big this year, booths will be limited to 100, with less than 10% of them being for food. This will give a huge advantage to all Artists and vendors. |
Getting booked to spin tunes at a music festival is a dream for many DJs. With over 32 million people attending music festivals in the US every year, getting a gig at events like Riot Fest, Bonnaroo, Desert Daze, or at Love-In Music Festival guarantees maximum exposure for DJs, which can lead to more high profile gigs in the future. If you want to share your unique take on music with a diverse audience at a festival, you need more than just passion to do well at this type of event. Knowing how to put on a performance and proper preparation is key for a successful DJ debut. Here's what you need to do before DJing for the first time at a music festival. |

It costs just $100 to mint and sell an average NFT, yet the benefits it could bring your festival are numerous. Let's dive in and take a look at a few recent festivals that have relied on this technology. Coachella, Tomorrowland, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and The Grass is Green (in Australia) have all relied on NFTs for a wide variety of purposes. NFTs—non-fungible tokens that essentially allow you to buy into a code stored on the blockchain—are quick and easy to mint, but the fact that they are blockchain-backed adds a high level of safety—which is vital for large event organizers. In what ways can you make the most of NFTS for your own festivals? |

According to the '7x' rule, makers should aim to sell seven times what they pay for a booth fee at a craft fair. While this can be intimidating and even stressful — especially for those who are just starting out — it's important to note that turning a profit is just one of several financial aspects to keep in mind. From increasing your sales (and curating the right prices) to properly navigating taxes, here are just three important financial tips for vendors who plan to sell at a craft fair. |
Festivals are a revered meeting place for people with a passion for music and the great outdoors, yet sadly, many leave a big carbon footprint behind. It is estimated, for instance, that each person in a typical festival can generate a footprint of 25kg of CO2. Around 80 percent of this footprint is caused by attendee travel, 13 percent by energy, and 7 percent by waste. However, these figures fail to take into account the cost of building structures and transporting materials for infrastructure. How can organizers design and build safe, sustainable sites that protect the planet as much as they entertain those with a penchant for live music? |

More women are attending festivals as a way to bond with friends and have a great time. According to recent data, 49% of festival attendees are female. Onstage, there's a slight increase in booked female artists as a study reveals that 27% of music festival acts in 2020 and 2021 were female, up from 18% from the previous years. |
