The Renegade Craft Fair is always FREE to attend!!

Sorry, no pets are allowed in the Concourse Exhibition Center.

Yes! Each fair offers something different. In the past we’ve had kids ‘accessorize with small toys’, learn to knit, take pictures in the photobooth, and have their faces painted! Many of our vendors make kid friendly items too. So, if your child likes tagging along with you when you go shopping, then they’ll love Renegade!

Very carefully! Since we receive many more applications then we can accept for each event, we jury each application based on their originality, quality, how their items fit in with our ‘renegade’ vision, cost and several other criteria.
