Hi. Looking for good craft shows in Jax. Not necessarily the ones at the Morocco Shrine or Prime Osborn, but rather shows held at big churches or community centers where they get lots of people/exposure.

Am looking to participate in one next year but, starting out, want to make it worth the effort. Some of the school and church craft shows I've seen tend to draw small crowds...you prepare for months, work your booth for 10-12hrs, only for 100 or so people.

Wondered if there were more successful shows in our area that'd been held for many years, offered nice quality crafts, and had a good turnout...?

Thanks.

Orange Park has one in the fall -- I don't know the specifics (attended last year, but schedule prevented me going this year). It's held at the park right next to Town Hall, at the intersection of Hwy 17 and Kingsley. Last year's attendence was big - a draw is that there are all kinds of activities besides crafts (local dance groups and other musical performances). I'm not sure who sponsors the fair, but I'm sure you could google and get some info.

One that seems to draw a lot of people is at Mandarin United Methodist Church. They hold it at the end of October.
There is also one held in St. Augustine every year on the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving. I cannot speak on the crowd size, but I know someone who does this show every year. I would think that the fact that this person keeps going back to that show means that it is successful.
