Torch Lake Labor Day Art & Craft Show

This boutique Art & Craft show will feature a maximum of 75 artists allowing for less competition, less crossover booths and more potential opportunities to connect with shoppers. This 7th annual, 3 day event is situated in downtown Alden, Michigan at Depot Park on Torch Lake, which National Geographic has voted as the #3 lake in the world. Over 10,000 attendees participated last year. The event is open Saturday & Sunday 10am to 5pm, Monday 10-3pm (optional).

The focus is on handmade & artist designed items but the jury will consider unique/creative gift ideas, authors, inventors and designers. Artists are selected through a review of their work by a panel of experts. The show accepts various creator types including artists (handmade and production work), crafters, inventors, designers, and other non-traditional creations. You may apply in up to 2 categories, with early bird pricing available - $250 if paid before July 5, $300 if paid after. Application fee is $15.

Booth spaces are approximately 10' wide by 10' deep with at least 2 feet between booths. All artist exhibitor tents must be white. Setup is Saturday morning 6:30am to 9am with easy load in and load out next to booth. The show encourages emerging artists of all levels and offers assistance with applying or booth setups.
