Be Part of The Livin' Local Marketplace at the Fair!

Are you a Central Valley artisan or maker with handmade products and a desire to showcase your craft to a massive audience? We are thrilled to announce this is the fifth year at the Livin’ Local Marketplace, and we have the opportunity for local artisans to sell their creations at the 2025 Big Fresno Fair — without the need to staff a booth every day!

This consignment-style marketplace is perfect for creators who want to sell their wares, but can’t commit to staffing a booth for the Fair’s full 12-day season. We will handle the sales and logistics, so you can focus on what you do best — making incredible handmade goods.

However, if you enjoy interacting with the public, consider volunteering at The Big Fresno Fair Livin’ Local Marketplace with a live art demonstrations, hands-on workshops, or by just working the store. Your participation helps create a more engaging marketplace — and your volunteer hours will help reduce your space rental fees (more information below).

Why join the Livin’ Local Marketplace?

  • Handmade Only: This curated space celebrates true craftsmanship — every item must be made by you!
  • Massive Exposure: Introduce your handmade products to thousands of Fairgoers each day.
  • Effortless Participation: We manage the sales, giving you time to focus on creating.
  • Flexible Opportunity: Perfect for artisans who can’t commit to a traditional festival vendor schedule.

If you have ever wanted to share your handmade work with the community in a fun, exciting way, this is your chance! Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this innovative marketplace celebrating the Central Valley’s finest craftsmanship.

Cost to Participate: $600 fee + 10% of gross sales

  • $400 deposit due at time of acceptance. Deposit can be made via cash, Venmo, credit card or check addressed to Sonflower Productions, which will be managing the space on behalf of the Fair.
  • Remaining $200 fee + 10% of gross sales will be collected from sales made at the 2025 Big Fresno Fair.
  • Participating artisans can volunteer for shifts at the Livin’ Local Marketplace. For each 8-hour shift completed, an $80 credit will be applied toward fees; maximum of two 8-hour shifts or $160 credit total.
Each Application will be juried. It is imperative that you fill out your application completely. Any incomplete applications may not be considered.

Spaces are limited — apply now to secure your spot!

Selected applicants will be notified throughout the month of May for the 2025 Livin’ Local Marketplace.
