Apple Pie Crafts Fair 2026 - CRAFTER APPLICATION

The 52nd Annual!  Sat. Aug. 22, 2026 |  9am-3pm | Rain or Shine |  Newport Town Common, Newport, NH

The initial application window has closed, but we very much encourage crafters to join our waitlist, as we do typically see a lot of movement in the next several months.  

New Application Process for 2026!

This year’s vendors will FIRST submit an application during a 48-hour window on March 4th/5th, and then will complete their registration and payment after their application has been reviewed and accepted by the selection committee.  After the initial application window closes, crafters are encouraged to join the waitlist here.

FOOD VENDORS MUST APPLY SEPARATELY AND SHOULD NOT USE THIS REGISTRATION, but should apply on THIS PAGE instead. (unless the food you sell is considered "take-home" food such as jams, jellies, maple syrup, fudge, pickles, etc. that is not meant to be consumed at the Fair--in which case you should apply as a crafter instead of a food vendor.)

NON-PROFITS MUST APPLY SEPARATELY AND SHOULD NOT USE THIS REGISTRATION, but should apply on this page instead.

The Apple Pie Crafts Fair is an annual event sponsored by the Library Arts Center. Booth fees help to raise much-needed funds for exhibits, classes, and programs.

The Apple Pie Crafts Fair attracts 5000+ people to Newport from a range of surrounding communities.  This iconic Fair features an apple pie contest & sale, live music throughout the day, and food vendors. It is open to both amateur and professional artists and craftspeople and will provide an opportunity to exhibit, market, and demonstrate your work.

We work hard to keep the Fair a true "Craft" Fair, therefore, we only feature hand-crafted items. Items for sale must be 1) handmade 2) handmade locally 3) handmade by you. If your items for sale do not meet all of these criteria, then you need not apply. Please inquire about booths for non-profit organizations. There is a very small quota for this category, and spaces fill quickly. If you have any questions about the criteria for entry, please click the link below for details on our website.  If booths sell out quickly, you are always able to join the waiting list and we will let you know if a spot opens up. 

We are offering several different sizes for booth spaces. Please see the map of the Common to note the distinction. (note: fee is for space only and does not include tables, chairs, etc.) *Please see the map below to see the distinction. **Also, please note that the 10x10 booths on the Common Interior do NOT have access to electricity.
