Fall Craft Show
November 21 -22, 2026
About the Show
The Sandburg Athletic Boosters Annual Fall Craft Show will take place on Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, 2026.
Known as the largest indoor craft show in the Midwest, the Carl Sandburg High School Athletic Booster Club is pleased to host this event in November annually. Shop over 350 booths that feature unique crafts, woodworking, holiday decorations, food, candles and more! Homemade, artisan products as well as "direct-sale" items will be available.
​
This is the Booster's largest fundraiser each year. The money is used for senior scholarships, patches, chevrons, senior night flowers, and many coaches' Wishlist items that are not covered by the district budget. The Athletic Booster Club provides our athletes with the "extra equipment" needed that the athletic department's budget does not include. It takes a huge effort from over 500 parent and athlete volunteers to make this such a great success every year. We could not do this without them!​

Vendors
Our New Vendor Application is now closed!
​
Please keep in mind that acceptance is not based on when your application is submitted, but rather on the fit and originality of your products.
As we review each application, please be patient—our goal is to thoughtfully add a diverse and distinctive selection of vendors. While we receive many applications for similar types of crafts, we are especially interested in products that we do not currently offer at our annual show.
We look forward to seeing what you have to offer and building another outstanding show!​
