Vendor Events in South Yarmouth, MA

Columbus Day weekend brings one of Cape Cod's established autumn craft fairs to Joshua Sears Memorial Field in South Yarmouth. The Yarmouth Seaside Festival Arts & Crafts Fair draws a curated selection of vendors who work across painting, sculpture, jewelry, fiber arts, pottery, woodworking, and other handmade mediums. Because this is a juried event with entries limited by medium, you'll find each vendor category represented thoughtfully rather than overcrowded, which means serious buyers and fellow makers tend to come specifically to browse quality work. The fair takes place during Columbus Day weekend in October, when Cape Cod's summer crowds have thinned but the weather remains pleasant for outdoor shopping. Fall is prime season for craft fairs on the Cape, as both locals and visiting tourists are looking for unique, handmade gifts and seasonal décor. The setting at Joshua Sears Memorial Field on Route 28 in South Yarmouth puts the fair in an accessible, open-air location that accommodates both vendors and shoppers comfortably. The Yarmouth Seaside Festival framework means this craft fair is part of a broader community celebration, so you'll be tapping into foot traffic from festival-goers interested in arts, culture, and local makers. If you sell handmade goods, whether functional ceramics, fiber art, fine jewelry, paintings, sculpture, or other artisan work, a juried craft fair like this one offers the advantage of a vetted audience and vendor quality that protects your brand and attracts serious customers. The October timing and Cape Cod location mean you're reaching people specifically shopping for fall and holiday gifts, which is prime selling season for many crafts vendors. The limited-entry format means less competition within your medium category and a better chance of standing out.

74 spots open

Parker's River Landing is the first event and a new location for A DIfferent Drummer Craft Event in 2027. This is the 6th year of these juried craft fairs and the first of two (in August) fairs with 75 booths in Yarmouth on Route 28. The fairs are balanced by craft so with 75, only up to 7-8 vendors in the same craft will be accepted so no single craft will outnumber the others. The fairs are heavily advertised in newsprint, on the net and on radio. Flyers are distributed at various Chambers of Commerce and adverts are placed in Cape Cod magazines to extend beyond the Cape. Parker's River Landing is near several popular restaurants, mini-golf and the Whydah Pirate Museum for added area interest and activities. Many resorts and hotels are nearby for visitors vacationing. Parker's River Landing is noted for a children's playground, kayak launching area, waterside boardwalk and walking paths through wooded areas. The field itself is level for easy walking and is perfect for setting up your 10 x 10 booth. Booth layout is designed to have two booths side by side but separated in pairs by 6 feet so everyone has a 'corner space' open on the front aisle and one open side for display/sales if desired.
