I've just had an inquiry from a business district in an affluent area of New Jersey. They are thinking of starting a new show and asked me for suggestions for an Arts and crafts organizer that would be interested in working with them.
Does anyone here have any recommendations?

Thanks for the input Chris & Colleen. I only knew they did shows in the NE and had thought about doing one or two when visiting family. You may have saved me some disappointment! I know there are others though, but just can't remember which ones they are.

Bill Kinney, Paragon Art Shows and Streetfairs.org are two that I know of. Both put on good shows.
I've never heard of Streetfairs.org -- cool name for a company. Thanks, CZ.
Just remember, street fairs in the northeast are not what most here think they are. They are made up of anything goes as long as it's not X rated or illegal.
Not a good venue for serious exhibitors.
Couldn't agree more with what you've stated, Chris!! I have done one referenced and have stuck out like a sore thumb. Anything goes is right. Not what I would have hoped for but still, lots of people show up and if they like, they may buy (sold a piece or two...never looked that way again, though...felt that I just "got lucky" even for those sales.)
Jim and Sara Burnet in Madison. Class act promoters who have actually ejected B/S vendors. Contact them thru www.chestercraftshow.com
Is that Madison, NJ, Chris?
Yes. Sorry I took so long to answer, I was on vacation in Maine.
...forgot to mention Renaissance Craftables, for the southern part of the state!
Howard and Janet Rose came immediately to my mind, but I hadn't thought of Stacey Jarit. Richard seems more focused on indoor events, but he does know the business well. Renaissance Craftables ... what about CJ Promotions?
