Calling all crafty folk and savvy entrepreneurs! The TGCA Craft Fair is one of the most beloved events of the year at the TGCA and once again we are offering both online registration, as well as in-person.

The TGCA’s craft fair has been operating for decades and our residents have come to anticipate this event as the unofficial kick-off to the holidays. We often hear the fair called the Christmas Craft Sale, as it’s always been a great spot to find some gifts for loved ones before the holidays.

This is a 2-day event and typically very well attended. Our canteen is open for the duration and offers meals, beverages and snacks, and we’ll be offering seasonal goodies this year at a bake sale too.

Items permitted

The Craft Fair allows vendors of handmade and personally crafted items only.

The following items are not permitted in the fair:

• manufactured products (costume jewelry, clothing, toys, etc.)
• multi-level marketing products (Scentsy, Avon, Tupperware, etc.)
• home baked goods

If you register with these types of items, your fees will be refunded. If you are found to be selling these items at the fair, you will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund on your registration fees.

2024 Craft Fair dates/times

Friday, Nov. 15 | 5 pm – 9 pm

Saturday, Nov. 16 | 10 am – 3 pm

Table pricing, availability, location

Vendors have the choice of one or two 3’ x 6’ tables per vendor. Tables are $30 +tax each for both days.

Both the Main Hall and the Thorncliffe Room will be open with vendors this year.

If you have a special request (table location, access to a power outlet, etc.), please include that in the provided space on your registration form. All requests will be considered; however, none are guaranteed.

Fair vendor info

An email will be sent out to all registered vendors 2 weeks prior to the event with setup details/time and vendor guidelines. If you don’t have an email address, you must register in-person, and an info sheet will be provided to you at that time.

REGISTRATION OPTIONS

Vendors please note: you will be permitted to register for only yourself this year, so one or two tables per one vendor. This policy is to ensure tables are distributed in as fair a manner as possible.
