The Kernersville Spring Folly Arts & Crafts Show will be May 1 – 2, 2026.
We are accepting applications for the upcoming 2026 Spring Folly Arts & Crafts Show. This show is a part of the larger Kernersville Spring Folly, which you can learn about at: https://www.kernersvillenc.com/spring-folly.
Our juried show accepts applications from artisans and crafters who handcraft items to display and sell in their booths. Food that can be eaten on site, such as bread, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. are not allowed. The only handcrafted-food vendors allowed are those who make mixes or sauces. This is a policy of the overall Spring Folly event. If you provide commercially made or direct sales products, resale items, items handmade by someone else or anything other than your own handmade craft, please apply to the commercial area of the Spring Folly at: https://www.kernersvillenc.com/events/spring-folly-2026---commercial-vendors-application-only-/register.
