Application: $30 Booth fee: $250
 
Now in its 22nd year, this juried show is anticipated each year by residents of Lincoln, NE and the surrounding region. In 2021 the festival moved to Canopy Street & the Railyard in the Historic Haymarket District in downtown Lincoln - the heart of Lincoln's art scene. The change in venue gave us the opportunity to grow the festival and it has proved to be sucessful. A unique mix of prime location, discriminating clientele and a celebratory atmosphere combine to create a “can’t miss it” event. The show committee consists of community volunteers and staff with many years of experience organizing shows.
