What Showfest is and how to find your way around.
Showfest is a directory for craft fairs, farmers markets, art markets, food-truck rallies, and seasonal festivals. Shoppers discover events nearby, vendors scout booths, and promoters fill their lineup — all with honest reviews from the people who were actually there.
Three audiences: shoppers looking for a weekend, vendors looking for a booth, and promoters running events. The site adapts to each — use the Shoppers / Vendors toggle in the nav to switch views.
Free for shoppers: browse events, read reviews, view shop pages, read the community feed, and see map pins at no cost. Vendors get everything (storefront, applications, the Studio business suite) for $15.99/month. Promoters pay $29 per event or $399/year for unlimited events. Every account starts with a 30-day free trial. See the Pricing page for details.
Showfest covers events nationwide — all 50 states. The feed defaults to your state, but the Nearby and Everywhere tabs let you see what's happening anywhere in the country.
Signing up, profile types, and verification.
No. You can read events, reviews, shops, and the community feed without signing in. An account is required to post, review, apply to events, follow, or save.
Shopper (default), Vendor, and Promoter. You can switch a shopper account into a vendor or promoter account later — no need to create separate logins.
Verification happens in stages: email (automatic), phone (optional, adds a badge), and identity (reserved for promoters running paid events). Higher verification surfaces your posts and reviews more prominently.
Yes. Head to Account → Profile. Handles can be changed up to twice per year; display names anytime.
Email admin@oneoverland.com from the address on your account. We hard-delete profile + personal data within 7 days; reviews are anonymized rather than removed so event history stays intact.
Listing events, approvals, edits, and cancellations.
Sign in, then go to Submit. The 4-step wizard collects basics, venue, vendor info, and a review. Listings are moderated before going live — usually within 24 hours on weekdays.
Common reasons: duplicate of an existing listing, missing venue address, or a link that doesn't resolve. Moderators leave a note on rejection — check your email and the Account → Submissions page.
Yes, from your Promoter dashboard. Date, venue, and fee changes are logged so vendors who applied can see what changed.
Mark it cancelled from your dashboard. Applied vendors get an email, the event shows a cancelled banner, and it stays visible for historical review context but is excluded from Discover.
Yes. Choose Recurring in the wizard and set the cadence. Each instance is searchable but they share one page, reviews, and application flow.
Writing reviews, sub-dimension ratings, and responses.
Anyone with a verified Showfest account who attended. Vendor reviews require you to have marked the event as attended (we trust self-report but flag anomalies).
Alongside overall stars, we capture five signals: foot traffic, load-in, organization, sales vs fee, and promoter communication. These give promoters actionable feedback and give shoppers/vendors a richer signal than a single star count.
Yes. Promoters get one public response per review, shown inline. Responses are moderated to the same standard as reviews.
Edit within 30 days. After that, contact us to amend factual errors. We do not remove reviews for being negative.
Rate limits, verification tiers, pattern detection, and manual moderation on reports. Reviews from brand-new accounts are held for review before publishing.
Applying to events, booth fees, and storefronts.
On any event page with vendor slots, click Apply. You submit your shop profile + a short message. Promoters review and accept in their dashboard.
Not yet. Today, application acceptance triggers an email with the promoter's payment link or instructions. Native checkout is on the roadmap.
Your public shop page: photos, product categories, upcoming events you're attending, and reviews written about you. Shoppers can follow it to get notified where you'll be next.
Not a marketplace — we link to your existing site, Etsy, or Instagram. Showfest focuses on the discovery-to-booth side.
Managing applications, boosting, and analytics.
You see all applicants in your dashboard with their shop profile, prior event history, and review scores. Accept, waitlist, or decline with one click — applicants get notified.
An optional paid placement that pins your event to the top of Discover for a chosen region and timeframe. Priced per week, per region, and billed separately from your Per event or Unlimited plan. Buy it from your event's dashboard.
Yes: views, follows, application conversion, and (post-event) review scores. Promoter Unlimited also includes traffic-source breakdowns and share-source rollups.
Yes. Search vendor profiles and send an invitation. They receive it in their inbox and can accept/decline in one click.
Posting, tagging, and moderation.
A regional feed where vendors, promoters, and shoppers share photos, questions, and updates. Posts can tag a specific event, shop, or vendor to give them context.
While composing a post, search for an event/shop/vendor and attach it. The post then shows a small card for the tagged entity and appears on that entity's page.
We show a small badge next to authors: New (joined under 30 days), Active (6+ posts), or Regular (20+ posts). It is purely a tenure signal, not an endorsement.
Yes — the ✕ menu on your own post. Comments you authored can be deleted the same way.
Use the flag icon on any post. Reports route to admins with a 30-minute SLA during business hours.
What costs what, and how billing works.
Shoppers and casual browsers are free. Vendors pay $15.99/month for everything: storefront, applications, and the Studio business suite (Booth Planner, inventory, expenses, books, design library, Shopify sync). Promoters pay $29 per event or $399/year for unlimited events. Every new account starts with 30 days of full access free.
Everything vendors need in one price: a verified vendor storefront, unlimited event applications, Booth Planner, inventory tracking, expense and book-keeping, design library, Shopify sync, POS-ready show sales logging, and the full interactive map. No add-ons to buy. See the Pricing page for the complete feature list.
Both plans give you the full event toolkit: a public event microsite, venue builder for odd shapes and multi-zone layouts, applications inbox with accept/waitlist/decline, booth assignment, fire-marshal-ready PDF, and vendor invoicing through Stripe Connect. Per event ($29) is a one-time charge that unlocks one event. Unlimited ($399/year) covers as many events as you run, plus sponsors, marketing kit, team seats, and attendee analytics.
You get full access to your chosen plan for 30 days with no card required to start. If you don't subscribe by day 31, any storefront or event you created during the trial is hidden until you join. Nothing is deleted, and reactivating restores everything instantly.
Yes, from Workspace → Billing. Vendors keep access through the end of the current billing period. Promoters on Unlimited keep their active events published through the renewal date. Per-event promoters own each event they publish; there is nothing to cancel.
No. Booth fees flow directly between vendor and promoter through Stripe Connect. Showfest never takes a cut. Your plan price is the only thing you pay us.
Boost is an optional paid placement promoters can buy to pin an event to the top of Discover for a chosen region and timeframe. It is priced per week, per region, and is billed separately from any plan. Nothing about the plans requires Boost; it is purely an extra promotion tool.
Vendor Member and Promoter Unlimited: cancel anytime; we do not prorate partial months or years. Promoter Per event: refundable up until the event is published, then final. Boost: prorated on cancellation. For anything else, email admin@oneoverland.com.
How we handle reports, disputes, and bad actors.
Harassment, doxxing, spam, off-topic content, and demonstrably false claims. Negative-but-honest reviews are not removed.
Email admin@oneoverland.com with your verified account and a link to the imposter. We act within 24 hours.
To reduce spam, we cap posts and reviews at a few per minute and a larger cap per hour. If you hit a limit it tells you how long to wait.
Weekdays: 30 minutes. Nights/weekends: up to 12 hours. Safety-critical reports are paged immediately.
What we store and how it's used.
Account info (email, display name, optional phone), posts and reviews you create, and basic analytics (page views, device). We do not sell personal data. Full details on the Privacy page.
Only your state, and only if you set it on your profile. We never share GPS. Event venues are public (by design).
Yes — email us and we'll send a JSON export within 7 days.
We read every email. Expect a reply within one business day.
