How to participate in Maine Craft WEEKEND
The weekend will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 3 + 4, 2026. Your event can take place on one or both days.
First, get creative! Decide on what type of craft-related event you would like to offer. Will you have open studio public hours? Host other artists? Coordinate a pop-up?
Next, submit your event. You will need to provide an event title, location, description, event hours, and an image. A listing will be posted with all your event details and added to the interactive map. Attendees will be able to see your event among the statewide listings and plan their routes from event to event.
Lastly, while we market the weekend, please utilize the provided marketing tools to let your fans know what you have planned. The more promotion we all do together, the better for all!
