Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals
How much green do you bring?
It seems like every time I have a festival I usually bring way too much. I always get a little nervous if I have too little cause I think, "what if I need the change?" So, I'm asking the experts: How much green do you bring? Yes, I take Credit Cards but I do get cash sales.

I've only just started up, and took £50 to my first fair, which turned out to be fine (£20 in £5, £20 in £1 and the rest in smaller coins). But I did have £100 in notes in my own wallet and someone with me to go and collect more change if needed.

I start by having the bank break $100 into change, including coins, and then restock fives and ones before each show. Most of my sales are CC, and for the smaller cash sales most people pay with twenties from the ATM so as long as I have fives and ones I'm good.
