Comments
Con: not great for fine arts. I was displaying original paintings, in other booths nearby people were selling marinara sauce, sprigs of lavender, and candles made to look like rocks. Fine art is scattered and lost among sales of mediocre crafts.
Wi fi didn't work. They used frontier net and I lost a sale because I couln't hook up. Others had similar problems, festival people said they used frontier because they are sponsors. Also very crowded in the middle of a busy downtown, which is both good and bad.
