First show ever
Artists Creating a Better World in Lake Oswego, OR, in 2012
What are the best things about art fairs
Meeting other artists and customers.
Best show ever and why
Wild Arts by the Audubon Society of Portland (OR). In a city where art shows rarely had admission fees, people lined up to pay for admission to this juried show, which had a great selection of fine art and fine craft. Because they knew their purchases were supporting a cause they cared about, people really opened their wallets and spent on art. We had our highest grossing shows there, and attendees were always friendly and enthusiastic about art.
Worst show ever and why
A Chanukah show early in our show days. It was allegedly juried, but not really. The show runner admitted pretty much everyone that applied, and we ended up with nearly every other booth doing jewelry. Sales were minimal and it was just a painful day.

Someone on an Etsy forum recommended checking out ArtFairCalendar.com, and while browsing the West Coast offerings there, I saw a reference to ArtFairInsiders.com in the comments.
