Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Toledo, Ohio

Held each June at Toledo Botanical Garden, Crosby Festival of the Arts brings together 150 juried artists across nine mediums selling original work directly to collectors. Booths are scattered throughout the gardens — many along paved paths, most in grassy shaded areas. The festival draws a strong local crowd and pairs artist sales with live music, food trucks (including local beer and cocktails), and family programming like face painting and yard games.

Held in downtown Toledo at Levis Square Park, the International Holiday Market is a new Christkindlmarkt-inspired celebration featuring ~15 cultural vendors and performers — Mexican, Native American, German, Polish, Hungarian, Irish, African American, Indian, Muslim, Eastern European, Filipino, Americana, Swiss, and Ukrainian. Expect handmade gifts, international foods, live music and dance performances, and traditional German mulled wine under warming tents. Strong cultural programming and foot traffic around the tree lighting.

Maker's Mart is a juried indie art and craft fair held twice yearly in Toledo—spring and fall—by Handmade Toledo since 2012. The show accepts handmade goods, artisanal food products, and food trucks; vintage resellers and mass-produced items are not accepted. Juried on craftsmanship, originality, and price point. Vendors not accepted are waitlisted for future shows and mini marts.

Held each September in downtown Toledo on N Superior St, Momentum Festival's Artist Market features 20+ local makers selling hand-crafted goods. A juried event run by The Arts Commission, it draws shoppers specifically looking to support Toledo's arts and creative community.

Toledo Farmers' Market operates two locations year-round — a Downtown Market and Westgate Market at Franklin Park Mall. All vendor applications are reviewed once annually by the Board and New Vendor Committee after the January 31 deadline, ensuring a balanced, curated mix rather than first-come, first-served approval. Food vendors must obtain all required permits and licenses before participating. Applications submitted with missing information will not be considered.

Held at Toledo Botanical Garden on June 27–28, the Toledo Festival of the Arts is a free, public event celebrating outstanding artwork from Northwest Ohio and beyond. The event hosts over 175 artists and marks the 60th year of this tradition. The juried festival is expected to welcome over 10,000 art enthusiasts. The Toledo Artists Club refocused the festival on local and regional artists and restored its original name. Plein air painters will capture the beauty of the landscape throughout the garden, and TAC hosts a historical retrospective featuring notable Toledo artists in its gallery during the festival.
