It’s officially craft fair season! With that comes tons of prep for the big day. It’s easy for craft fair vendors to put countless hours into the creative process and product preparation but fail to prep themselves in small ways that make the day go by smoothly.

Below, we’ve created a video with tips from some of our seasoned craft fair veterans on how you can set yourself up to have the best event experience possible.

(email blog subscribers, you must click through to view the video)

With the new year brings new opportunities. We love the Mile High City and have treasured our time at the McNichols Building, however it is time for a change. We are super excited to announce our new home for our Holiday 2019 Fair in Denver this December 14th & 15th……The Stanley Marketplace!

Photo by From the Hip Photo

Stanley Marketplace is a community of 50+ independently owned Colorado businesses that offer something for everyone. Whether you are into yoga or kickboxing you can jumpstart your day with a work out, while your mini-me enjoys a kids gymnastics class. Then recover with an amazing lunch or dessert from one of the many restaurants and treats within. Later in the day (or right after, no judgements here!) grab a drink with your friends at Cheluna Brewing or if wine is more your thing, head to Infinite Monkey Theorum!

What we love most is the fact that Stanley believes in bringing people together and making them happy. That goes right along with what we at Jackalope aim to do, create a community meets artisan event where local culture meets craft. We both want to bring people together to connect and collaborate.

Something else that brings us together is that our Jackalope mascot is referred to as Stanley, Melissa gave him that name when we first began….how cool is that?! If that is not a sign, well by golly I do not know what else is.

Photo by From the Hip Photo inside of The Hangar

We are so excited to bring our handmade community to Stanley for our Holiday 2019 Fair where we will not only have artisans within the Hangar at Stanley, we will also have artisans throughout the shopping center on both the first and second floors, truly creating a unique shopping experience. So save the date, December 14th & 15th, 2019!

Applying for a fair can be daunting, especially with so much competition out there. Here are our top tips for putting your best foot forward when applying for your next fair, (hopefully with Jackalope!).

Lindsey Kay Collective

As we head into our fifth year hosting fairs in Denver, we want to take a moment and let you in on some of our favorite fun facts about the Mile High City!

---

Sunshine

Corey Anthony Photography

Fun Fact: Something we love most about Denver is that it has over 300 days of sunshine per year! Denver has more annual hours of sunshine than San Diego and even Miami Beach.

---

Colfax Avenue

Photo by Colfax Jack

Fun Fact: Colfax Avenue is the longest commercial street in the USA just over 26 miles, and is home to a unique assortment of eateries, bars, and music venues! Playboy once referred to Colfax as "the longest, wickedest street in America."  One of our favorite landmarks are the neon signs that still exist on Colfax playing tribute to its past!

---

Beer!

Fun Fact: The first permanent structure in Denver was a saloon, which makes sense since now there are over 75 breweries with a Denver address! It is no surprise that Denver hosts the largest beer fest in the nation, The Great American Beer Fest. Shoutout to Diebolt Brewing who has hosted our Denver Fair mixer the past 3 years.

---

Art

Photo from Visit Denver

Fun Fact: There are seven art districts in Denver and over 70 galleries in Denver alone. This includes Rino, Golden Triangle, Arts District on Sante Fe, South Broadway, Cherry Creek North, South Pearl Street, Tennyson, and 40 West Arts District. We also love all the street art that is taking over the city making it one large art gallery.

---

The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa

Photo from GoColoroado.com

Fun Fact: Except for Calvin Coolidge, every US President since Teddy Roosevelt has visited this famous landmark. Also unique, there is a bee colony on the roof and the honey is used for afternoon tea!

---

The Denver Mint

Fun Fact: The Denver Mint is the single largest producer of coins in the world. You can tell if a coin is made in Denver by a D mark. I still remember the tour I took back in elementary school, a school staple growing up!

---

The Outdoors

Photo from Visit Denver

Fun Fact: Yes we know Denver is not in the Mountains, however it is so close that the outdoor active lifestyle is still relevant. In fact there are 200 named peaks visible from Denver and the city boasts more than 5,000 acres of traditional parks and parkways.

Getting ready for our first step into Burbank this spring, we’re so inspired by everything that makes this city great!

---

Animation

Known as the Media Capital of the World, the motion picture business moved to Burbank in the 1920s. Per square mile, Burbank has more animation studios and production facilities than any other city in the world. In 1937 Disney created the first sound and color animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We are also very excited to embrace animation and work with The Creative Talent Network (CTN) for the Downtown Burbank Arts Festival!

---

The Equestrian Center

Visit Burbank

For the horse and nature lovers! It’s also a starting point to endless horse trails throughout Griffith Park.

---

Burbank Airport

A breeze to get to, worlds simpler than the horrors of LAX, how can we not have the Hollywood Burbank Airport on this list!

---

Street Art

The first thing we noticed about Downtown Burbank was all the awesome street art. Which makes sense since Burbank is full of creative professionals and a large part of the entertainment industry. It is great to have the city reflect the artistic spirit that is within!

---

Warner Brothers

@gilmoregirlsonly

Part of the “Big Six” major American film studios, WB has called Burbank home since it was founded back in 1923. We highly recommend this studio tour, it is one of our faves and if you are a Gilmore Girl fanatic like me, you get to take a step into Stars Hollow!

---

Bobs Big Boy

Home of the original double deck cheeseburger, the restaurant was built in 1949 and is the oldest remaining Bob’s Big Boy in America! It was declared a historical landmark in 1993.
