Our traditional re:Craft and Relic is a juried event that takes place at the Milwaukee County Sports Complex (Franklin, WI) three times a year. This event averages 150-170 vendors per show. Attendance is between 3,000-5,000 paid customers per event with the Holiday Market being the biggest attendance.
The Mini Market debuted in 2023 , featuring 40 handmade artists in a more intimate venue. In 2024, The Mini Market was held at the Brookfield Conference Center and featured 55 handmade artists.
Make Art MKE at Mount Mary University was added to our calendar
in 2023, organized by Mike Bate/Lit MKE , with artists coordinated by re:Craft and Relic. This event is a revitalization of the starving artist show held at Mount Mary for 50+ years.
Night Market at The Franksville Craft Beer Garden was brand new in 2024, featuring 75+ local artists and small businesses.

Do you accept direct sales vendors?We're sorry, but we do not accept direct sales vendors.
-
What does it mean if I'm "waitlisted" ?We have many more applicants than spaces available. You may wonder why you were added to our wait list when it looks like we have plenty of spaces left. This market is carefully curated and certain categories do fill up quickly. We might not have room for you no matter how many times you've joined us in the past or how awesome you are. If you are added to our wait list, NO PAYMENT will be taken unless you are approved with your consent at a later date. If a spot in your category opens up, we'll reach out to you to see if you're still interested and available. There's no knowing if or when a spot WILL open up until one does. No need to send emails asking if a spot opened or asking to be removed from the waitlist. *No food artisan vendors will be contacted within 2 weeks of the event due to the time it takes to communicate with the health department in regards to this category.

Can I share a booth space?Yes. Two vendors are welcome to share one booth space but must apply together on one application.
