Verified can also mean that we have confirmed event details, to the best of our ability, with the venue. Vendors are still encourage to do their own due diligence.

(Advertising space refers to digital banner ads that rotate in multiple locations across the site. Banner ads are available in multiple sizes and are charged per a 30 day period.

Event Listings are not banner ads. You can learn more about our event listings here)
DFW Craft Shows offers a variety of marketing options at a broad range of price points. We understand the terminology can get confusing.
Event Listings are specific to a single occurrence of an event. You submit your information on the website and an event listing is created specifically for you. These listings are posted upon approval and remain live until after your event. Various listing upgrades can grant you additional exposure and features throughout the site.

Of course! First, take a look at our Vendor Directory. If you can’t find what you’re looking for there, try posting in our facebook group or shoot us an email at info@dfwcrafts.com.
Event listings remain on the website until your event date has passed, but they may only be on the front page for a short time. If you want to keep your event listing rotating front and center across the website, consider a Platinum Listing for sponsored event status.
Please do not resubmit your event information in an attempt to get back on the front page–duplicate listings will not be processed.

Please consider a Premium or Platinum Listing to include your event graphics.
Each event listing has a link at the bottom where you can report an error, but you can also email us at events@dfwcrafts.com. Please include the event name and the text “ERROR” in the subject line.
